Bare Copper Conductors

PAC (Plain Annealed Copper)

 

PHC (Plain Hard-drawn Copper)

 

Plain Annealed Copper

Fixed installation conductor stranding is used in multicore cables, conduit wire, and earthing conductors where they are used for earth mats and the earthing conductor between earth rods.

Alternative conductor strandings offer the maximum flexibility available in the conductor sizing, but this comes with increased cost.

A range of conductor stranding and make up between these two is available on request.

Plain Hard Drawn Copper

These conductors are a combination of imperial and metric sizes. Their main use is bare aerial conductors because of lower elongation and increased tensile rating compared to annealed copper conductors. They can also be used in earth mats, and as earthing conductors between earth rods.
