Bare Copper - Stranded
Bare and Tinned Copper
APPLICATIONS
Used for overhead electrical transmission and distribution lines, grounding electrical systems, electrical test equipment and other infrastructure.
CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: Concentric-lay stranded bare copper conductors available in soft, medium hard, or hard temper. Stranded tin coated copper conductors available in soft temper only.
STANDARDS
Used for overhead electrical transmission and distribution lines, grounding electrical systems, electrical test equipment and other infrastructure.
CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: Concentric-lay stranded bare copper conductors available in soft, medium hard, or hard temper. Stranded tin coated copper conductors available in soft temper only.
STANDARDS
- ASTM B1 - Hard-drawn copper wire
- ASTM B2 - Medium hard-drawn copper wire
- ASTM B3 - Soft or annealed copper wire
- ASTM B8 - Concentric-lay stranded copper conductors: all tempers
- ASTM B258 - Standard Specification for Standard Nominal Diameters and Cross-Sectional Areas of AWG Sizes of Solid Round Wires Used as Electrical Conductors
- Federal Specification QQ-W-343 - Wire, Electrical, Copper (Uninsulated)
NOTES
