BARE ARMORED GRND #4

BARE ARMORED GRND #4 (Product Description)

A #4 bare armored ground conductor is a grounding wire (size #4 AWG) used in electrical systems for equipment grounding and bonding, often run inside or alongside armored cable systems or conduit assemblies.

Product Description

This is a #4 American Wire Gauge (AWG) bare copper grounding conductor used to provide a low-resistance path to ground for fault current safety. The term “BARE” means the wire has no insulation, and “ARMORED GRND” typically indicates it is used in or with armored cable (AC/MC cable systems) or grounding paths associated with armored installations.

This wire is commonly used in commercial and industrial electrical systems where higher fault current capacity is required.

Key Specifications

• Wire Size: #4 AWG
• Material: Bare copper (typically stranded)
• Insulation: None (bare conductor)
• Function: Equipment grounding conductor (EGC)
• Application Type: Armored cable / conduit grounding / bonding
• Ampacity Use: Based on grounding/fault current capacity (not load carrying)

Key Features

• Provides a low-resistance fault current path
• Essential for electrical safety and equipment grounding
• Compatible with armored cable (AC/MC) systems
• High conductivity due to bare copper construction
• Flexible stranded design for installation ease
• Meets grounding and bonding code requirements

Typical Applications

• Armored cable (AC/MC) grounding systems
• Commercial and industrial electrical installations
• Panel grounding and bonding systems
• Heavy equipment grounding conductors
• Building grounding infrastructure

Simple explanation

This is a thick bare copper wire used for safety grounding, often run with armored cable systems to safely carry fault electricity back to the panel so breakers can trip.

Important note

• This wire is not used to carry normal power load
• It is strictly for grounding and safety protection
• #4 AWG is a heavy-duty grounding size used for larger electrical systems
