Round conductor type RD 10-CU 5021502

Copper wire for grounding and discharge of static electricity

The round RD 10-CU wire is a solid element of electrical installation, designed for applications requiring reliable discharge of leakage currents and atmospheric discharges. Made of copper with a cross-section of 78 mm², it provides effective protection of the installation and devices. Its construction, based on a single class 1 wire, guarantees flexibility and ease of installation.

Construction and application

This wire is widely used in lightning protection systems and as a grounding wire. It meets the requirements of DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305), which confirms its compliance with the highest safety standards. Thanks to its construction, the wire works perfectly in places exposed to corrosion – the raw copper condition allows for later anti-corrosion protection, adapted to specific environmental conditions. The soft material of the core facilitates shaping and connection to various installation elements.

Key features and benefits

• Large cross-section: 78 mm² translates to high conductivity and the ability to discharge large currents, which is crucial in lightning protection systems.
• Copper as the core material: Provides excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Single-wire construction: Facilitates installation and shaping of the wire, especially in tight spaces.
• Compliance with standards: Meeting the requirements of DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305) guarantees safety and reliability.
• Raw state: Allows adaptation of the surface protection to specific operating conditions.
• Lightweight: Weight of 70 kg/100m facilitates transport and work with the wire at heights or in hard-to-reach places.
• Outer diameter: The outer diameter with jacket/coating is 10 mm, which allows for easy routing of cables in existing cable ducts.
