Using CCS wire for grounding: specify duty and joints

Original publication: · Reviewed:

For a grounding inquiry, state the fault duty, conductor construction and connection method. The conductivity class does not independently establish fault-current capacity or compatibility with the installed connector.

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.
