Tracer Wire 30/600V Solid CCS Conductor Direct Burial Underground, Most commonly Used in utilities Fields Such as Water, Sewer, Gas, telecommunication, etc. (500ft, Yellow, 14AWG)

Tracer wire, also known as locator or locating wire, is used to assist in locating pipes and other pipes once they have been buried in the ground. Once a pipe is laid down the tracer wire is placed along the pipe and buried next to it. To find the pipe, a wire tracer is used to find the tracer wire. A wire tracer is an aboveground device with the ability to locate the non-energized wire. There is no need to send electricity through the tracer wire. The use of tracer wire allows for a more accurate dig for repairs, replacement, or maintenance. This type of wire is most commonly used in utilities fields such as water, sewer, gas, telecommunication, etc. Different colors indicate different functions.Red to designate Electrical Wiring;Yellow to designate Gas Pipes;Blue to designate Potable Water Pipes. CCS stands for copper-clad steel, this kind of tracer wire has a steel core with a copper clad coating. The two metals are bonded together with heat and pressure. The copper and steel are inseparable after the cladding process is complete. CCS offers the strength of steel with the conductivity and corrosion-resistant properties of copper. Our copper-clad steel tracer wire is insulated with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket which is designed for direct burial use. Why use CCS conductors instead of copper conductors?1.Cost reduction 2.Longer and more stable prices 3.Reduced risk of theft due to lack of market end value 4.Double the breaking strength 5. More durable, fewer breaks, longer lifespan 6.Lower transportation and handling costs due to the light weight of the material Will the propagation distance of the positioning signal on the CCS tracer wire be the same as that on the solid copper tracer wire? The tracer wire is an application of alternating current, and the signal frequency determines the appropriate conductivity (the thickness of the copper), which is due to the skin effect. The skin effect refers to the fact that alternating current mostly flows along the outer surface rather than the inner surface of a solid conductor. Therefore, the propagation distance of the positioning signal on the CCS is the same as that on the standard copper tracer wire.

• Underground tracer wire is used to accurately locate underground pipes. Blue for potable water pipes; Red for electrical wiring; Yellow for gas pipes.
• It can be buried underground and directly in contact with the soil, including in damp places. Therefore, it can be used regardless of your conditions.
• Flexible and easy to install, even in narrow corners.
• Compliant with RoHS standards
• This cable can operate normally within a wide temperature range, so it is suitable for installation in any location in the outdoor environment of any area in North America.
