Copper-Clad Steel Stranded Wire
CCS stranded wire combines copper-clad steel wires in a defined construction. Specify strand count, wire diameter, lay and overall diameter, together with tensile and resistance requirements. For grounding, include fault-current duty, connections and the installation environment.

Construction and specification
- Material
- Copper Clad Steel (Cu/Fe)
- Product form
- Stranded wire
- Dimensions
- Specify dimensions and tolerances on the drawing; confirm the available production range for this construction
- Electrical specification
- Specify the steel core, conductivity grade and resistance test conditions
Selection and processing
A stranded conductor and a grounding rod have different installation roles. Compare conductors used for the same grounding duty, including finished resistance, fault-current duration and joint construction. Single-wire tensile values and complete-strand values require separate test definitions.
Specifications and Documentation
Identify the product form, standard and edition required by the drawing. A material standard does not establish approval for the finished assembly. Agree inspection methods, acceptance limits and required documents for the order.
Use the drawing and a material/form-specific purchase specification. Round-wire references do not qualify rolled strip, foil or flat wire. Confirm edition, methods and acceptance criteria.

Product questions
Can CCS stranded wire replace another grounding conductor?
Compare conductors serving the same grounding role using finished resistance, fault-current duty, tensile requirements, joints and corrosion conditions. A stranded conductor is not a direct replacement for a grounding rod.
