Copper Clad Steel (CCS) Tracer Wire

Scope:

Copper clad steel (CCS) tracer wire combines the strength of steel with copper’s conductivity. This wire is used for many applications, including grounding, horizontal directional drilling, pipe bursting, bonding, offshore wind projects, overhead ground wiring, and as a messenger wire.

Applicable Standards and Tests:

• ASTM B-227, B-228, B-869, AND B-910/910M
• UL 2989
• ICEA S-70-547 AND S-95-658/NEMA WC70

Features:

• 30V, 600V AND 1000V RATED
• DIRECT BURIAL RATED
• 75°C MAX CONTINUING OPERATING
  TEMPERATURE IN WET OR DRY
  LOCATIONS

Construction:

Conductors:

Single conductors are solid or stranded 21% conductivity copper clad steel and available in dead soft annealed (DSA), stress relieved (SR), high strength (HS) and extra high strength (EHS).

Insulation:

Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene).

LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) is standard and HDPE (high density polyethylene) is available on request.

Identification and Packaging:

Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2500 feet.
