About Application
CCS grounding wire outlasts galvanised steel by 2× (30-year vs 15-year service life) at a fraction of the cost of solid copper. A single specification — Raytron CCS round wire — serves lightning protection, railway catenary, elevator cable, and urban transit signal systems. Our CCS products meet IEC 62305 and GB 50057 standards for lightning protection systems.
Technical Challenges
Grounding System Reliability
Solution CCS provides 30-year service life vs 15-year for galvanised steel.
Cost Pressure
Solution CCS costs a fraction of solid copper while meeting all standards.
Corrosion in Soil
Solution Copper cladding provides excellent corrosion resistance in all soil types.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does CCS grounding wire compare to solid copper?
CCS grounding wire provides equivalent electrical performance for grounding applications at a fraction of the cost. The steel core provides mechanical strength, while the copper cladding ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
What standards does CCS grounding wire meet?
Our CCS grounding wire meets IEC 62305 and GB 50057 standards for lightning protection systems. It is suitable for building, power, and telecom grounding applications.
