Bare Copper bare2str7sdmr 2 Awg 7-strand Bare Copper Wire

Product Description

The BARE COPPER bare2str7sdmr is a 2 AWG, 7-strand soft drawn bare copper conductor available cut to length for job-specific requirements. Soft drawn copper offers increased flexibility compared to hard drawn wire, making it easier to route and terminate in tight spaces. At 0.292 inches outer diameter and 205 pounds per thousand feet, this conductor is sized for applications that demand reliable current-carrying capacity and long-term conductivity. Electricians and grounding specialists reach for bare copper in grounding systems, bonding runs, and overhead distribution work where an insulated jacket is not required.

This conductor is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where bare copper is specified by code or design. Common applications include equipment grounding conductors, grounding electrode conductors, bonding jumpers, and service entrance grounding runs. The cut-to-length format reduces waste on the job site and allows procurement of only the footage needed for a specific run, which is useful on retrofit projects, panel upgrades, and service work where standard spool quantities are impractical.

Key Features

• 2 AWG conductor size for medium-duty grounding and bonding applications
• 7-strand construction improves flexibility and ease of termination versus solid wire
• Soft drawn copper annealing process increases pliability for routing in conduit or cable trays
• 0.292 inch outer diameter fits standard 2 AWG lugs and connectors
• Available cut to length to minimize material waste on job-specific runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2 AWG bare stranded copper conductor suitable for use in grounding, bonding, and overhead electrical applications where bare copper conductors are permitted by the applicable electrical code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local amendments. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before connecting or terminating this conductor. Use properly rated lugs, connectors, and compression tools rated for 2 AWG stranded copper. Bare conductors used as grounding electrode conductors or bonding jumpers must be sized, routed, and secured per NEC Article 250 requirements.
