Proof Positive® Copper Utility Perspective
UTILITY PERSPECTIVE ON PROOF POSITIVE® COPPER
Utility engineers ensure safe and reliable substation operation. Conductors must be grounded and system integrity maintained to protect employees and the public. Copper conductor theft from substations and other areas starts a chain reaction with devastating and costly effects.
Southwire’s Proof Positive® Copper with TraceID Technology is aimed at curbing copper theft:
- Provides traceability of stolen wire to prove rightful ownership for prosecution
- Visually identifiable (through tinned strands) to distinguish the cable as special and traceable. Helps track and possibly deters future theft.
- No operational changes needed: installation, training and equipment same as conventional copper
- Reduce repair/replacement costs
Southwire can provide samples and demonstrations for utilities interested in curbing copper theft.
