3、ense.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers bare rope-lay-stranded con-ductors having concentric-stranded members made from roundcopper wires, either uncoated or coated with tin, lead, orlead-alloy for use as electrical conductors (Explanatory Note 1and Note 2).1.2 Coated wires shall include only tho

4、se wires with fin-ished diameters and densities substantially equal to the respec-tive diameters and densities of uncoated wires.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound or SI units are to beregarded separately as standard. Each system shall be usedindependently of the other. Combining values from the tw

5、osystems may result in nonconformance with the specification.For conductor sizes designated by AWG or kcmil, the require-ments in SI units have been numerically converted fromcorresponding values, stated or derived, in inch-pound units.For conductor sizes designated by SI units only, the require-men

6、ts are stated or derived in SI units.1.3.1 For density, resistivity, and temperature, the valuesstated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.2.

18、o account the size of the wire or group of wires as related tothe size of the entire conductor.5.2 Concentric-stranded members forming the completedconductor may be joined as a unit by soldering, brazing, orwelding.5.3 Joints shall be so constructed and so disposed through-out the conductor that the

19、 diameter or configuration of thecompleted conductor is not substantially affected, and so thatthe flexibility of the completed conductor is not adverselyaffected.6. Lay (Explanatory Note 3)6.1 Conductors of the same size and description furnishedon one order shall have the same lay.6.2 The length o

20、f lay of the outer layer of the rope-laystranded conductor shall be not less than 8 nor more than 16times the outside diameter of the completed conductor. Thelength of lay of the other layers shall be at the option of themanufacturer unless specifically agreed upon. The direction oflay of the outer

Forexample, where the unstranded wire specification requiresminimum elongation of 30 %, wire of that material removedfrom Specification B173 stranded conductor shall meet aminimum elongation value of 25 %, a value 5

28、 % reduction.8.4.2 Results Obtained on Individual WiresThe percentminimum elongation may be reduced by the value of 15 %from the values required for unstranded wires as specified bySpecifications B3, B33,orB189, as applicable.

29、ation of 30 % wire of that material removed fromSpecification B173 stranded conductor shall meet a minimumelongation value of 15 %.

31、ine compliance shall not bemade on the conductor as a unit.8.7 If a tinning, lead-coating, or lead-alloy-coating test isrequired, it shall be made on the wires prior to stranding.9.
