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 in grounding systems, in lightning protection systems, and on insulators for overhead line transmission and distribution.

The Annealed Bare Copper variant is commonly specified to Renewable Energy (including Solar Farms) and Battery Storage projects. The Hard-Drawn variant is more commonly used in the Railways industry.

The choice of Annealed Stranded Copper or Hard-Drawn Copper (stranded) is based on 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.

In both cases, the copper offers natural resistance against environmental stresses such as wet, humid, and saline climates.

Our technical engineers have vast experience of providing support with the selection of the optimum bare copper conductor. We also offer innovative logistics solutions to help improve supply chain efficiency. Please call us to discuss your specific requirements.
