THEFT DETERRENT
• Due to its steel core, the conductor is very difficult to cut with hand tools.
• Cu-Bond Round Conductors are also magnetic. The magnetic properties of the steel indicate to potential thieves that the materials
within the conductor are of little scrap value.
COST EFFECTIVE
• Because the copper is bonded to a steel core, the cost of the conductor is minimized by reducing the total amount of copper in
the cable.
nVent ERICO Cadweld molds and mechanical connectors, as well as straightening equipment, have been
designed for use with Cu-Bond Round Conductors.

nVent ERICO Cu-Bond Round Conductor
nVent ERICO Cu-Bond Round Conductor has a unique advantage of protecting against the progression of corrosion from
nicks or scratches in the coating.
• Cu-Bond Round Conductor has a minumum copper plating thickness of 10mils (254 microns) which will not crack or tear
when the conductor is bent.
• Many competitive materials have thin layers of copper that will scratch to the steel surface easily.
Cu-Bond Round Conductor is manufactured with the highest quality materials according to internationally
recognized standards.
• UL Certified to IEC® 62561-2, Requirements for Conductors and Earth Electrodes.
• Meets the requirements of IEC® 62305-3, Edition 2, for Lightning Protection.
• Materials manufactured according to ASTM 370 to confirm steel quality and ASTM 376 to verify copper thickness.
• Meets the requirements of IEC 62305-3, Edition 2, for Lightning Protection.

nVent ERICO Cu-Bond Round Conductor
ABOVE-GRADE APPLICATIONS
The unique properties of nVent ERICO Cu-Bond Round Conductor
make it ideal for both horizontal and vertical placement. Above
grade, the conductor is well-suited as a lightning-protection
conductor when applied in accordance with the IEC® 62305-3
Edition 2.0 standard.
• Utility
– Distribution down-lead conductor and assemblies
– Bonding kits for substation fence or equipment ground risers
back to the grid
• Commercial and Industrial
– Alternative conductors to solid copper rod and tapes in
grounding and lightning protection
• Telecom
– Conductor for connecting equipment ground to ground grid,
and riser (down-lead) conductors for tower
– Grounding conductor for data center mesh bonding
• Rail
– Trackside bonding conductor and stray current conductor
– Grounding kits for trackside equipment, electrical
traction power
– Substation, wayside shelters, communication
Lightning protection antenna equipment
BELOW-GRADE APPLICATIONS
Copper-bonded steel conductors are ideal as earthing and
bonding conductors where copper theft on-site may occur.
Cu-Bond is ideal for use in a variety of applications including
power distribution earthing and bonding; substation earthing;
commercial, industrial, and railway earthing.
• Buried ground grid conductors and electrodes:
– Wireless telecom tower earthing
– Utility substation earthing; power distribution and
transmission earthing
– Large scale ground mount solar farm earthing
– Industrial facility earthing, for example, petro- chemical and
mining infrastructure
– Railway earthing
• Interconnecting grounding conductor between wind towers or
grounding grid at base of wind tower
