1/0 Stranded Bare Copper Wire, Soft Drawn, 19 Strand

“Engineered for superior flexibility and high-capacity grounding, this1/0 19-Strand Bare Copper wire is a premium solution for demanding electrical systems. By utilizing a 19-strand concentric-lay design, this conductor offers significantly better pliability than standard 7-strand wire, making it the ideal choice for complex conduit runs and high-performance grounding grids.”

Why Professionals Choose 1/0 Stranded Bare Copper?

When installation space is tight and reliability is non-negotiable, 19-strand construction is the preferred choice. It provides the same massive cross-sectional area as standard 1/0 wire but with an optimized strand count that simplifies handling and improves connection integrity.

• Enhanced Flexibility: 19 individual strands allow for tighter bends and easier routing in switchgear and transformer pads.

• Superior Surface Area: Increased strand count provides more surface area, which is highly beneficial for high-frequency lightning dissipation.

• Soft-Drawn (Annealed) Copper: Heat-treated for maximum workability, ensuring the wire stays where you bend it.

• Industrial Durability: Uninsulated and naturally corrosion-resistant for permanent direct burial or outdoor applications.
