Copperclad Product Line Selector Tool

Instructions:

Choose method for selecting Copperclad Steel (standard copper size or fault current). In the Copper Size section, you have the option to see the equivalent CCS by Wire Diameter or Fault Current using the slider. Please note that in the Copperclad Steel portion, you may also choose between Standard Copperclad Steel or OnyxCCS, which has a chemically etched surface finish to hide the appearance of copper. CCS options of 40% DSA, 30% DSA, 30% HS, and 30% EHS are listed for comparison.
