Standard Specification for Bunch-Stranded Copper Conductors for Electrical Conductors
STANDARD published on 1.4.2017
Why Redline?
A PDF redline is a quick and easy way to compare all of the changes between the current, active standard and the previous version.
With a redline you'll immediately see:
Save Time and Trouble!
With a Redline you no longer have to spend time trying to determine what has changed in the new standard! Redlines save you time and ensure you see what the changes are to the standard.
Price
When you select the "Active + Redline" option you get both documents! Best of all, the cost of an Active + Redline is only slightly more than buying the Active Standard by itself.

This specification covers bare bunch-stranded conductors made from round copper wires, either uncoated or coated with tin, lead, or lead-alloy for use as electrical conductors. Coated wires shall include only those wires with finished diameters and densities substantially equal to the respective diameters and densities of uncoated wires. Bunch-stranded conductors are classified as Class I, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class O, Class P, and Class Q, according to wire diameter. Requirements for conductor joints, lay length, wires, and strand construction are given. Electrical and elongation tests of wires composing the conductors shall be performed. If a tinning, lead-coating, or lead-alloy-coating test is required, it shall be made on the wires prior to stranding. The methods of determining mass, cross sections, and electrical resistance are detailed. The density of copper to be taken in the calculations is prescribed.
