Wire and Strand Provides Long-Lasting, Low-Impedance Path to Earth

It is also less susceptible to theft because it is a bimetallic product and does not have the high scrap value of solid copper. When annealed, Copperweld DSA (dead soft annealed) wire and strand exhibits the flexibility necessary for easy handling.

Whatever the grounding application is, ACA has a Copperweld conductor available in the size, conductivity and strength that is required
