> CCS conductors for substation, transmission, and renewable energy

## Overview

Copper-clad steel combines the conductivity needed for power grounding with the mechanical strength to survive fault currents and environmental extremes. CladCore CCS is specified in substation grids, wind turbine lightning protection, and solar farm grounding systems worldwide.

## Benefits

- **Fault Current Survivability**: CCS conductors maintain integrity through 40kA+ fault currents where pure copper would fuse — critical for substation safety.
- **Theft Deterrence**: CCS has negligible scrap value compared to pure copper, dramatically reducing substation and solar farm conductor theft.
- **Wind & Solar Ready**: Fatigue-resistant CCS strand survives the constant micro-movement of wind turbine pitch and yaw cable tracks.
