Bare Copper is available in solid or stranded conductor types, both of which are suitable for overhead transmission and distribution applications. However, stranded copper wire offers greater flexibility, making it ideal for uninsulated connections, jumpers, and grounding in electrical construction. Available in tempers hard, medium-hard, or soft.

Bare copper wire has a high conductivity rate, making it ideal for applications where rapid transmission of electricity is needed. Unlike other materials, bare copper wire has low resistance, allowing it to transfer electric currents extremely well.
This feature is especially suitable for electrical construction projects, overhead transmission lines, and numerous applications where reliable electrical transmissions are a necessity. Soft-drawn copper and medium hard-drawn variations are both effective in enhancing electrical flow for specific use cases, like single-strand wire or stranded conductor designs.
The thermal conductivity of bare copper wire is another one of its best qualities, allowing it to efficiently manage the heat produced by electrical currents. This attribute makes copper wire ideal for industrial and commercial applications where effective heat dissipation is needed to prevent overheating.
Its thermal properties allow it to function well in a wide range of setups. Thanks to its thermal efficiency, bare copper wire can be used in uninsulated hook wire setups and other high-heat environments where other materials may not perform as well.
Another benefit of bare copper wire is its ductility, which allows it to be drawn into thin strands without breaking. This high degree of malleability is beneficial in applications that need soft-drawn copper.
These ductile properties make copper wire useful in electrical construction projects and other applications where a durable yet flexible material is needed. When you need an adaptable conductor, you can count on bare copper wire to deliver both strength and versatility.
Bare copper wire also exhibits great solderability characteristics, making it easy to connect with other components in electrical systems. Its uncoated surface improves compatibility with solders, enabling quick and reliable bonds.
In electrical construction, this solderable property provides excellent results in creating long-lasting connections in custom and industrial projects. Bare copper wire’s solderability makes it a preferred choice for applications where effective bonding is essential.
