Material for Hollow conductors
Our hollow conductors are made from high-conductivity, oxygen-free copper OF-OK™, which is a high purity copper with an electrical conductivity of at least 100% IACS. If higher softening temperatures or creep strengths are required, we recommend the use of silver bearing copper grades CuAg 0.03% or CuAg 0.1%, which are based on OF-OK™ copper.
These copper grades offer high electrical and thermal conductivity and their freedom from oxygen ensures excellent brazeability and weldability, making them superior to oxygen-bearing copper grades.
Copper hollow conductors are most commonly used in generators in the power generation industry.

Delivery forms
- straight lengths
- loose coils
- pancake coils
- spools
Long continuous lengths result in a reduced number of joints and have the benefits of lower costs and reduced risk of leakage.
