AA-59551 Bare Copper Buss Wire
The AA59551 mil spec approved wire is one class of copper wire that serves two general purposes. It can serve as a ground wire for electrical wires and it can also be used to be the cable for ground wires. The most common material that is used for this type of wire is copper. Specifically, manufacturers call these wires as made of bare copper, i.e. wires that are made of solid copper. The advantage of using bare copper wires for electrical wire or grounds wires is that they generally have no insulation.
