COPPERSTEEL is a bimetallic conductor that combines the mechanical properties of steel with the high conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. Created from a continuous cladding process where the metals are joined together on an atomic scale to produce a bimetallic material with the best of both metals, it is the smartest option for grounding grid, counterpoise, grounding conductor and various other applications.
GROUNDING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEMS: Properly designed ground systems are essential to adequately discharge extremely high currents, directing them to the ground during lightining surges and short-circuit. The COPPERSTEEL conductors with steel core and copper cladding is the best choice for power generation, transmission and electrical distribution grounding and lightning systems. It offers equivalent performance to bare copper for grounding applications and much higher performance than zinc plated steel for lightning protection, thanks to its longer service life.
TRANSMISSION GROUNDING SYSTEMS: For lightining protection of overhead transmission lines, grounding and earthing systems are vital. COPPERSTEEL conductors offer high strength and corrosion resistance for overhead and grounding applications. On overhead ground wire application, where discharge time are in the order of microseconds, the 21% and 30% IACS COPPERSTEEL conductors have equivalent performance to copper and much higher performance than hot dip galvanized steel wires. When used as counterpoised, the COPPERSTEEL copper cladding technology ensures 40 to 50 years of lifetime, in all types of soil (regardless of pH), up to 6 times more durability than hot dip galvanized steel.

SUBSTATION GROUNDING SYSTEMS: For grounding applications, the COPPERSTEEL conductors with 40% and 53%, IACS have equivalent fusing resistance performance to bare copper cable with same cross section, against short-circuit up to 1s rate duration. In practice, this is possible because the steel core allows the COPPERSTEEL conductor to work over a wider temperature range than copper, without compromising its physical characteristics.
POWER GENERATION GROUNDING SYSTEMS (RENEWABLE): The best grounding solution for wind farms, photovoltaic systems and hydroelectric plants. Performance equivalent to copper and superior to hot dip galvanized steel, ensuring maximum performance in the grounding of equipments (wind turbines, transformers, photovoltaic plates, etc) and civil works (anchor bolts, powerhouses, substations, among others), in addition to reducing the potential for theft.
PUBLIC LIGHTING / SIGNALING: In applications such as conductors for public lighting and signaling, COPPERSTEEL conductors, with 53% IACS, offer adequate conductivity and less theft potential compared to pure copper cables.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS: The outer copper layer of the COPPERSTEEL conductors and cables ensure equivalent performance to bare copper in TELECOM applications, due to the skin-effect at high frequencies.
