In any power system, the grounding network is the "unsung hero" that ensures safety and equipment longevity. FISSOT’s grounding solutions provide a low-impedance path for fault currents and lightning strikes, protecting multi-million dollar assets and human lives.
By merging the mechanical strength of steel with the superior conductivity of copper, we provide a foundation that is as tough as it is reliable. FISSOT specializes in Copper-Clad Steel (CCS) conductors, which represent the pinnacle of earthing technology, offering a "best of both worlds" solution that outperforms traditional materials in every critical aspect.
Recommended Products
Reliable grounding requires a permanent path to earth that can withstand both electrical faults and environmental degradation. FISSOT recommends Copper Clad Steel (CCS) wire as the primary grounding conductor due to its atomic-level metallurgical bond, which provides the corrosion resistance of copper with a steel core that makes it virtually worthless to thieves. For locating underground grounding grids and utilities, our Tracer Wire offers high-strength detection capabilities, ensuring that buried infrastructure remains identifiable and protected throughout its 30 to 50-year service life.

Why Choose FISSOT?
Why is CCS better than pure copper for grounding?
Copper Clad Steel (CCS) is superior to pure copper in grounding applications for two main reasons: Theft Prevention and Mechanical Strength. CCS has minimal scrap value, which significantly reduces the risk of infrastructure theft. Additionally, the steel core provides the high tensile strength required to drive rods into hard, rocky soil without bending, while the copper skin ensures efficient fault current discharge.
How long is the service life of FISSOT grounding conductors?
Thanks to our proprietary Cold Cladding Technology, FISSOT’s grounding conductors feature a uniform, non-porous copper layer that is metallurgically bonded to the steel. This creates a permanent barrier against moisture and soil acidity, ensuring a service life of 30 to 50 years even in aggressive environmental conditions.
Are FISSOT grounding materials compliant with international standards?
Yes. FISSOT is a technology-driven manufacturer and a drafter of the ISO 14811:2025 standard. All our grounding materials are engineered and tested to meet or exceed stringent global benchmarks, including IEEE 80, UL 467, and ASTM B910, ensuring safety for utility and industrial infrastructure.
