Infrastructure & Construction

CCS grounding wire outlasts galvanised steel by 2× (30-year vs 15-year service life) at a fraction of the cost of solid copper. IEC 62305 compatible.

30 Years Service Life
IEC 62305 Standard
Φ0.5-4mm Diameter Range

Industry Solution Path

Infrastructure & Construction material selection

Start from the current path, operating environment and joining process, then choose the material family and validation plan before requesting a production quote.

Recommended Materials

  • PV ribbon or clad conductor where the application requires substitution validation
  • Copper strip, copper foil or flat wire for supporting rolled-material requirements

Selection Path

  1. 1 Define current, voltage drop, mechanical load and temperature window.
  2. 2 Choose material family by conductivity, strength, weight and surface requirements.
  3. 3 Validate joining, corrosion, insulation and packaging before bulk procurement.

RFQ Checklist

  • Application and drawing
  • Material family and product form
  • Dimensions, tolerance and quantity
  • Test standard and delivery requirement

Validation Notes

  • Do not approve a material substitution from product name alone.
  • Request samples and inspection data for qualification-sensitive uses.
