Copper Conductors

Copper Conductors VS Copper Clad Steel Conductors

An electrical conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it. However choosing between “copper-clad steel conductors” and “pure copper conductors” for lightning protection can be confusing, as both serve similar purposes. But, selecting the wrong one can make a significant difference. Conductors can generally be classified by ...
