Hard-drawn aluminium wire for overhead line conductors
1 Scope
This standard specifies the mechanical and electrical properties of hard-drawn aluminium round wire with nominal diameter ranging from 1.25 mm to 5.00 mm and hard-drawn aluminium molded wire with nominal equivalent diameter ranging from 2.00 mm to 6.00 mm. Hard-drawn aluminium wire is classified into four resistance levels, namely L, L1, L2 and L3. The hard-drawn aluminium wire is classified by section shape into round wire and molded wire.
This standard is applicable to hard-drawn aluminium wires for the manufacture of stranded conductors for overhead power transmission purposes.
