Copper-Clad Conductor
Copper-Clad Conductors

Copper-clad conductors are manufactured by coating one metal with another, combining the strengths of both materials. At ETO, we specialize in copper-clad steel (CCS) wire and copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire. Copper-clad steel provides high mechanical strength, which makes it suitable for applications requiring durability and tensile resistance. Copper-clad aluminum, on the other hand, offers a lightweight alternative with good conductivity, balancing performance and cost efficiency.

FAQs About Copper-Clad Conductor

Copper-Clad Conductors provide a more economical alternative to pure copper while maintaining the necessary electrical properties. Additionally, they offer enhanced adaptability to different environments, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

The conductivity of copper-clad conductors is lower than that of pure copper. However, in specific applications, such as high-frequency transmission, the skin effect allows copper-clad aluminum wire to perform similarly to pure copper wire.

Copper-clad steel (CCS) wire is the ideal choice. It offers a tensile strength of over 750 N/mm², ensuring durability while allowing for a smaller cross-section.

Copper-clad steel (CCS) wire offers a cost-effective solution with durability and sufficient conductivity. Its metallic finish enhances appearance, ensuring suitability for these applications.

Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire offers a practical solution. A wire with 10% copper content can achieve 63% IACS conductivity, providing significant cost savings of up to 70% while maintaining the necessary electrical performance.

Copper-clad aluminum (CCA) wire is a well-balanced solution. With 10% copper content, it weighs only 27% of a pure copper wire while retaining 63% IACS conductivity. If a higher conductivity level is required, the copper proportion can be adjusted accordingly.
