But what exactly is CCS? Introduced several decades ago, CCS is a bi-metal conductor featuring a durable steel core that is chemically bonded with copper cladding. The manufacturing process includes cold rolling, which guarantees uniform coverage, eliminating concerns about flaking and related issues.

How CCS Stands Out Compared to Copper

CCS is undeniably superior due to its enhanced properties and cost-effectiveness that traditional copper cannot match.

The protective cladding promotes significant durability, providing CCS with a 43% higher break-load capacity than conventional copper wire. Interestingly, despite this strength, CCS is approximately ten percent lighter, making it easier to handle and process. Its admirable conductivity makes it a preferred choice in diverse applications across various industries.

When evaluating the cost-effectiveness of CCS versus copper, one can observe several financial benefits:

Ziyu

• The lighter material results in reduced shipping costs and simpler installation and maintenance procedures.
• Due to its impressive corrosion-resistant properties, CCS exhibits exceptional longevity, minimizing maintenance expenditures.
• The lower after-market value significantly reduces the risk of theft.

This wire's remarkable flexibility, memory retention, and overall usability make it a top alternative to copper in numerous settings.

Proline Safety’s Copper-Clad Steel Tracer Wire

Proline's CCS wire is highly regarded across various sectors. It is primarily utilized for tracer wire applications that do not exceed 30 volts and is used to conductively detect buried utility lines in gas, water, sewer, telecommunications, and electrical frameworks. Furthermore, our offerings are RoHS compliant and compatible with existing connectors.

Considering Cost-Effective Copper Coated Steel/Alloy Wire

The following information addresses concerns related to magnetic distortion when using cheaper copper-coated steel conductors. The issue arises from the nonlinear relationship between current and magnetic flux in ferromagnetic materials. This may cause signal distortions, especially seen in output relays and ultimately affecting sound quality in audio systems.

In a case study involving speaker terminals manufactured from gold-plated steel rather than brass, a significant increase in distortion was noted. This illustrates the importance of material selection in audio and electrical components, highlighting how copper's properties affect overall performance.
