Bare Copper Conductors

Eland Cables supplies a range of bare copper conductors, which are ideally suited for use in electrical grounding systems and on insulators for overhead line transmission and distribution applications.

Bare Copper Conductor Applications

Our bare copper conductors are principally used in energy transmission installations to maximise thermal and electrical conductivity, and to transmit energy with optimal efficiency. This uninsulated wire can be used as an earthing cable and in lightning protection systems. The copper also offers natural resistance against environmental stresses such as wet, humid, and saline climates.

With options for Annealed Stranded Copper, or Hard-Drawn Copper (stranded), it can balance the need for flexibility in an installation design. Our Annealed Stranded Class 2 stranded bare copper wire offers greater flexibility than the stranded hard-drawn wire; whilst this in turn offers more flexibility than a solid hard-drawn copper conductor. 

The Annealed stranded bare copper wire is manufactured in accordance with EN 13602 and EN 60228, whilst the hard-drawn stranded bare copper wire is to BS7884.
