Hard Drawn Copper Conductors
Hard Drawn Copper Conductors are
undergone a mechanical drawing process to increase their strength and hardness without annealing. These conductors are known for their high tensile strength, excellent conductivity, and durability, making them ideal for overhead power transmission, grounding systems, and exposed electrical connections.
Engineered for tough electrical environments, hard drawn copper conductors provide a robust solution where mechanical stress, long spans, or exposure to the elements are concerns.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Tensile Strength – Greater mechanical durability compared to annealed copper
- Excellent Electrical Conductivity – Made from electrolytic-grade copper
- Corrosion Resistance – Long life in outdoor and industrial conditions
- Low Maintenance – Resists wear, stretching, and deformation
- Cost-Efficient – Reliable performance with low power loss over long runs
- Custom Sizes Available – Wide range of diameters and stranding configurations
- Environment Friendly – Fully recyclable material
Applications
- Overhead electrical transmission and distribution lines
- Electrical grounding and bonding systems
- Lightning protection systems
- Substations and switchyards
- Busbar jumpers and electrical bridges
- Industrial power networks
- Earthing systems for power plants and telecom towers
