Abstract:
Copper covered steel wire has the strength and
toughness combined with conductivity and corrosionresistance
of copper. It is closely plated with uniform
layer of pure copper by the advanced continuous
electroplating process. The stranded conductors and
single conductors are produced in a variety of sizes
and types to meet specific needs as per ANSI/ ASTM
B227, B228, B229, B452 and BS 4087 for power
distribution, transmission and telecommunications.
Due to unique characteristics, the conductors are used
for single bonds to complete the electrical circuit for
long spans crossing mountains and rivers for telecommunications
overhead lines. It is also called copper
plated steel wire, copper coated steel wire, steel cored
copper wire and copper-weld wire in different names.
