Application Of Bare Strand Copper Wire
Soft bare copper conductor cables have annealed copper conductors class 2 or class 5 are recommended for use as neutrals, in-circuit ground connections and machinery and equipment grounding systems. Soft copper may be used for transformer drop leads or other non-tension hook-up jumpers. Hard drawn bare copper conductor may use earth or overheading power line.
