Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) Conductors Copper-clad steel (CCS) conductors are composed of a steel core with a continuous and constant copper cladding that is thoroughly bonded throughout. CCS conductors combine the strength of steel with the high conductivity and corrosion resistance of copper. CADWELD® welded electrical connections have been used to join CCS conductors for over 40 years. The CADWELD exothermic process fuses the CCS conductors together to form a connection that will not corrode, loosen, or increase in resistance for the intended service life of the installation. CCS conductors may...
