CCS in harsh environments: corrosion and connection review

Original publication: · Reviewed:

Harsh-environment suitability cannot be inferred from a copper surface. Define soil or atmospheric exposure, possible layer damage, dissimilar-metal contacts and inspection needs for the complete connection system.

Review the application

A copper-equivalent label alone does not confirm fault-current performance, connection compatibility or suitability for the installation. The conductor and connections need a project-specific review.

Information to provide

Confirm the proposed construction

Agree on the conductor drawing, electrical duty and acceptance basis.

Review sample dimensions, electrical and mechanical data, and connection compatibility.

Complete the project-required system evaluation before accepting a material change.
