Copper Clad Aluminum Conductor (Wire) (CCA, CCAW) is a conductor produced by coating Copper (Cu) by using different techniques on Aluminum (Al) wire conductors of certain diameters and thus the conductivity level is made more efficient than aluminum conductors.
Copper Clad Aluminum wire gets its name from the way of manufacture and is commonly known as CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) or CCAW (Copper Clad Aluminum Wire). The coating thickness varies depending on the coating method and demand.
Since the large density of the conductor is aluminum, it is much lighter than copper conductors of the same cross section. For this reason, it is very easy to transport and apply and does not create unnecessary burden on the structure.
