1. In-Depth Analysis of Technical Performance and Industry Applications of Bare Hard Copper Stranded Wire
Bare Hard Copper Stranded Wire serves as the indispensable core material in modern electrical engineering, substation construction, and lightning protection grounding systems. Unlike common annealed (soft) copper wire, the “hard-drawn” manufacturing process imparts higher tensile strength and physical hardness to the conductor. In power transmission and grounding projects, mechanical stability is just as critical as electrical conductivity. The Bare Hard Copper Stranded Wire produced by Shaoxing Sweld Electric Co., Ltd. is specifically engineered to meet these high-performance demands. By twisting multiple solid copper filaments according to a specific pitch, this structure retains copper’s excellent conductivity while significantly enhancing the wire’s fatigue resistance.
In the field of lightning protection, these wires are typically buried in the soil or fixed to building surfaces. The inherent rigidity of hard-drawn copper allows it to better withstand mechanical stress during installation, preventing breakage caused by soil settlement or construction tension. Furthermore, the stranded configuration increases the surface area of the conductor, which is vital for handling high-frequency currents, such as lightning discharges. According to the “Skin Effect” in physics, high-frequency currents tend to flow on the surface of a conductor; the larger surface area of stranded wire helps reduce AC impedance, thereby directing lightning current into the ground more rapidly and safely.
Since its inception in 2018, Shaoxing Sweld Electric Co., Ltd. has been committed to deep research in materials science. Located in Shengzhou, Shaoxing—the famous hometown of Shaoxing Opera—this culturally rich region has fostered a spirit of rigorous craftsmanship within the company. The stranded wire we provide is strictly controlled for purity to ensure conductivity meets international standards. Every strand’s tightness and pitch are precisely calculated to ensure the product maintains superior structural integrity even when serving in harsh geological environments for decades.
In practical applications, Bare Hard Copper Stranded Wire is often used in conjunction with ground rods and exothermic welding technology. The professional technical team at Shaoxing Sweld Electric Co., Ltd. points out that the lifespan of a grounding system often depends on the quality of its connection points. Low-quality wire allows moisture to penetrate the gaps between strands, leading to internal corrosion. Therefore, we use high-purity oxygen-free copper as raw material, enhancing the product’s natural corrosion resistance and ensuring a design life of several decades even in acidic or alkaline soils.
