CCS service life: assess conditions, damage and maintenance

Original publication: · Reviewed:

There is no universal CCS service-life figure. Review environmental exposure, layer integrity, connection condition and inspection history; a laboratory result or another installation's age is not a lifetime guarantee.

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.
