Scope

This Standard specifies requirements and tests for homogeneous bare electrical conductors for overhead power transmission, and constructed of all aluminium or all aluminium alloy wires.
NOTES:
1 Appendix A gives methods to calculate conductor properties.
2 Appendix B gives the coefficient of linear expansion and the theoretical basis for the calculation of modulus of elasticity.
3 Appendix C lists code names which may be used to refer to specific type and construction of conductor.
4 Appendix D lists information which should be supplied with enquiries and orders for conductors.
