# CCS weight and copper-saving calculator

> Quantify the copper weight saved by a CCS conductor versus solid copper at equal gauge.

## Formula

Solid-copper-equivalent mass uses 8.89 g/cm³ (IEC 60028); the CCS build runs lighter by its steel share. The saving compounds across multi-span or multi-coil builds.
