| Conductivity designation | 40% IACS — historical catalog class |
| Construction designation | CCSS 3#12AWG 40% IACS |
Source notes for this reference
- The old catalog lists mm² under “Copper Conductor Equivalency”. It does not establish actual CCS area or a same-size copper replacement rating.
- Hash / AWG notation is not defined as individual-wire gauge or complete-conductor gauge. Request strand and overall diameters.
- 40% IACS is a conductivity designation, not copper content. Test conditions and tolerance need to be confirmed.
- This record identifies a historical catalog entry. Current availability, approved dimensions, performance and certification are not established by the old page.
Official source body reviewed 3 October 2026. A source observation is not an approved current specification.

Identity & geometry
For CCSS 3#12AWG 40% IACS, request a construction drawing that defines each number and the AWG basis. Do not derive finished area from the hash notation.
Performance & process
Confirm strand count, individual-wire diameter, finished diameter, temper, tensile strength and connection requirements.
Application & supply
Provide fault current, duration, installation environment and the project standard before selecting a grounding construction.
