Conductor

1) A wire or combination of wires suitable for carrying an electrical current. Conductors may be insulated or bare. 2) Any material that allows electrons to flow through it.

Conductivity

The capability of a conductor to carry electricity, usually expressed as a percent of the conductivity of a same sized conductor of soft copper

Concentric Stranding

A stranding configuration in which individual wires are stranded concentrically with no reduction in overall diameter. Typically used for bare conductors

Compression Splice

A compression connector used to join two conductors. There are different designs used for overhead and underground conductors. For overhead conductors, there are different designs for limited and full tension applications.

Compliance Voltage

The specified maximum voltage that a transducer (or other device) current output must be able to supply while maintaining a specified accuracy.
