Product Description

Product Description

0.40mm Direct-Burial Copper Clad Steel Wire for Earthing is designed for underground grounding systems where corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term conductivity are essential. The solid steel core offers superior tensile performance, while the thick, uniform copper cladding ensures stable electrical conductivity and resistance to soil chemicals.

Its 0.40mm diameter strikes a balance between strength and workability, making it an ideal solution for earthing grids, buried lightning protection systems, and foundation grounding in residential or industrial installations.

 

Key Features

• 0.40mm medium-gauge conductor suitable for direct soil burial

• Copper-clad surface resists oxidation, rust, and chemical degradation

• Steel core maintains mechanical stability under earth pressure

• Excellent current-carrying capacity for grounding and fault return paths

• Designed for long-term performance in corrosive or humid soils

 

Applications

• Buried earthing conductors in telecom towers and substations

• Lightning protection grounding grids for industrial infrastructure

• Underground bonding in smart grid and utility projects

• Residential grounding systems for building safety compliance

• Fault current return path in solar or energy storage facilities

 

Quality & Standards

• Conforms to ASTM B452 and IEC earthing system requirements

• Approx. 20% IACS conductivity with copper cladding

• Soil corrosion-resistant finish tested for long service life

• RoHS / ISO9001 / REACH certified manufacturing

• Delivered in spools or pre-cut lengths for trench installation
