Round cable type RD 8-CU 25 5021484

Copper wire for grounding and discharge of static electricity

RD 8-CU 25 round wire is a solid conductor, made of copper, designed for applications requiring reliable current discharge, especially in grounding systems and protection against atmospheric discharges. Its construction and materials guarantee efficient operation in various installation conditions.

Construction and application

The wire is characterized by a single core with a cross-section of 50 mm² and a diameter of 8 mm. Made of soft copper, it provides good flexibility during installation and connection. This wire is used as an element of lightning protection systems and in potential equalization installations. It can be used as a discharge and grounding wire in accordance with DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and meets the requirements of VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305).

Key features and benefits

• Copper as core material: Provides excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, translating into long-lasting and trouble-free operation.

• Soft core: Facilitates installation and shaping of the wire, especially in tight spaces or with complex connections.

• Cross-section 50 mm²: Allows for safe transfer of large currents, necessary in overvoltage protection systems.

• Application in grounding systems: Meets DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305) standards, guaranteeing compliance with safety regulations.

• Bare surface finish: Means no additional protective coatings, allowing the wire to be adapted to specific environmental conditions by self-protection.

• Weight: Approximately 45 kg per 100 meters of wire – important information when planning material requirements for larger installations.

• Outer diameter: 8 mm – compact size facilitating routing of wires in existing infrastructure.
