Ground Continuity Conductor
- Southwire #
- HVUD38
Ground Continuity Conductor is a durable, silicone-free power cable designed for grounding, underground service entrance, and power distribution applications. Constructed with annealed copper conductors and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, it provides dependable electrical performance, excellent durability, and long-term reliability in wet, dry, conduit, and direct burial installations.
