2、on, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specificati

3、on 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 (Explanatory Note 1 and Explanatory Note 2).1.2 Coated wires shall include only those wires with finished diameters and densities substantial

4、ly equal to the respectivediameters and densities of uncoated wires.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. C

5、ombining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3.1 For conductor sizes designated by AWG or kcmil, the requirements in SI units have been numerically converted fromcorresponding values, stated or derived, in inch-pound units. For conductor sizes designated by S

6、I units only, the requirements arestated or derived in SI units.1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardizationestablished in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendation

38、 the purchaser, the length of lay of bare or coated bunch-stranded conductors shall conformto the requirements of Column B of Table 3.6.4 When specified, for constructions other than those listed in Footnote A of Tables 1 and 2, the length of lay shall conformto the requirements of Column A of Table

40、es 1 and 2.7.2 If a separator is required to be furnished with the conductor, it shall be at the option of the manufacturer unless otherwisespecified by the purchaser as to requirements for the kind and thickness of material and its application details.8. Physical and Electrical Tests8.1 Tests for t

41、he electrical properties of wires composing conductors made from soft or annealed copper wire, bare or coated,shall be made before stranding.8.2 Tests for the physical properties of soft or annealed copper wire, bare or coated, may be made upon the wires beforestranding or upon wires removed from th

42、e completed stranded conductors, but need not be made upon both. Care shall be takento avoid mechanical injury and stretching when removing wires from the conductor for the purpose of testing.8.3 The physical properties of wire when tested before stranding shall conform to the applicable requirement

43、s of 11.1.8.4 The physical properties of wires removed from the completed stranded conductor shall be permitted to vary from theapplicable requirements of 11.1 by the following amounts (Explanatory Note 3):8.4.1 Average of Results Obtained on All Wires TestedThe percent minimum elongation may be red

44、uced by the value of 5 %from the values required for unstranded wires as specified by Specifications B3, B33, or B189, as applicable. For example, wherethe unstranded wire specification requires minimum elongation of 30 %, wire of that material removed from Specification B174stranded conductor shall

45、 meet a minimum elongation value of 25 %, a value 5 % reduction.8.4.2 Results Obtained on Individual WiresThe percent minimum elongation may be reduced by the value of 15 % from thevalues required for unstranded wires as specified by Specifications B3, B33, or B189, as applicable. For example, where

46、 theunstranded wire specification requires minimum elongation of 30 %, wire of that material removed from Specification B174stranded conductor shall meet a minimum elongation value of 15 %. If the reduction results in minimum elongation of less than5 %, a minimum of 5 % shall apply.8.5 In the event

47、that the requirements prescribed in 8.4.2 are met, but those prescribed in 8.4.1 are not met, a retest shall bepermitted wherein all wires of a conductor of 100 wires or less, or 100 wires selected at random throughout a conductor of morethan 100 wires shall be tested for the purpose of final determ

48、ination of conformance to 8.4.8.6 Elongation tests to determine compliance shall not be made on the conductor as a unit.8.7 If a tinning, lead-coating, or lead-alloy-coating test is required, it shall be made on the wires prior to stranding.9. Density9.1 For the purpose of calculating mass, cross se

49、ctions, etc., the density of copper shall be taken as 8.89 g/cm3 (0.32117 lb/in.3)at 20C (Explanatory Note 4).10. Mass and Resistance10.1 The mass and electrical resistance of a unit length of stranded conductor are a function of the length of lay (ExplanatoryNote 6).10.2 The maximum electrical resistance of a unit length of stranded conductor shall not exceed 2 %over the nominal DCresistance shown in Tables 1 and 2 (Explanatory Note 5). When the DC resistance is measured at other than 20C, it is to becorrected by using the multiplying fac
