Other Names For 8-7 stranded bare copper conductors:

8-7 stranded bare copper wire, 8-7 stranded bare electrical wire, 8-7 bare copper ground wire, 8-7 raw copper wire, 8-7 bare earth wire, 8-7 soft annealed copper wire, copper wire grounding, 8 gauge copper wire, 8 awg copper wire, pure copper wire, 8 awg ground wire

Particular applications of 8 AWG 7 stranded bare copper wire:

• As a grounding conductor in electrical systems
• In overhead transmission systems
• In lighting protection systems
• For bonding
• With bus bars
• For electroplating

Applications:

Stranded Bare Copper Wire (class A) is an electrical wire suitable for overhead transmission and distribution.  Flexible stranded copper wire (classes B and C) is designed for uninsulated hook up, jumpers, and grounds in electrical construction. The wire is uncoated and unalloyed, which lets the customers enjoy the pure benefits of a copper conductor. Bare conductors of this electrical wire exhibit superior conductivity compared to insulated versions.

Construction:

Conductor:

Stranded Bare Copper Wire has a stranded copper conductor per ASTM B-1, B-2 and B-8. The conductor is available in soft-drawn combination unilay temper. Some of the advantages of copper in cables include conductivity, tensile strength, and the properties of the tensile expansion.
