Service Wire Copper Solid Conductor Bare or Tinned, Soft Annealed, Medium Hard, Hard Drawn Wire
The inner part of a conductor is basically the heart of the wire or cable. The conductor of this wire comes in two ways either bare copper solid conductor or tinned copper solid conductor. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC) are to be used majorly for grounding purposes. Tinned copper is used to enhance the properties of copper. The conductors of this wire are annealed (soft) copper and are available in medium hard and hard drawn wire.
An electrical wire is not item to manufacture without putting into consideration safety guidelines. For this reason, this wire has been constructed in line with the following international standards and specifications;
1.ASTM standards;
2.B- 1 (hard drawn)
3.B- 2(medium hard drawn)
4.B- 3 (soft or annealed)
5.B- 33 (tinned)
6.REA/RUS approved
7.Federal standard QQ- W- 343
8.RoHS compliant
The wire is ideal for use on insulators for overhead transmission and distribution and in electrical grounding systems.
