Bare Copper Wire for Grounding
Bare Copper Wire for Grounding
(OP)
I hope that I am in the right forum for this. Apologies if not. Working in Indonesia and our electrical guy comes up to me and asks some questions on bare copper grounding wire. What is the difference between hard drawn or soft drawn - and how to tell difference in the field? (remember I am a geotechnical engineer). Secondly, I understand diameter in mils, but what does Circular mil area mean (in cmils) and size in kcmil? I have my "feeling" given 7-strand reinforcing for concrete but . . . Your help is greatly appreciated - our electrical guy has already lost half a kilo in worry. . . .
