15、able 1. Such joints or splices shall be not closer than50 ft (15 m) to any other joint in the same layer in theconductor (Note 1).NOTE 1Joints or splices in individual copper-clad steel wires in theirfinished size are made by electrical butt welding. Two types of joints areused and are described as

16、follows:(a) Weld-Annealed JointsAfter butt welding, the wire is annealed fora distance of approximately 5 in. (127 mm) on each side of the weld. Theweld is then protected from corrosion with a snug fitting seamless coppersleeve which extends at least38 in. (9.5 mm) on each side of the weld andwhich

17、is thoroughly sealed to the wire with solder. The wall thickness ofthe sleeve is at least 10 % of the radius of the wire.This joint has a tensile strength of approximately 60 000 psi (415 MPa).This is less than the strength of the individual wires, but an allowance ismade for this in the rated stren

18、gth of the conductor as a whole. Thecompleted conductor when containing such joints is required to have thefull rated strength.This type of joint is but slightly larger than the wire itself and isapplicable for 7, 12, and 19-wire stranded conductors.(b) Compression-Weld JointsCompression-weld joints

19、 differ fromweld-annealed joints in that the wire is not annealed after the butt-weldingoperation but is reinforced with a hard-drawn, seamless, silicon-tin bronzesleeve which is applied by means of a hydraulic compressor over the weld.This sleeve is covered with solder so as to completely seal the

20、ends. Thesesleeves have a wall thickness of 25 to 50 % of the radius of the wire,depending on the wire size. Their use is usually limited to 3-wireconductors where the relatively large diameter is not objectionable. Thisjoint develops the full strength of the wire.6. Lay6.1 For 3-wire conductors the

21、 preferred lay is 1612 times theoutside diameter, but the lay shall not be less than 14 times normore than 20 times this diameter.6.2 For 7- and 19-wire conductors the preferred lay is 1312times the diameter of that layer, but the lay shall not be lessthan 10 nor more than 16 times this diameter.6.3

22、 The direction of lay of the outer layer shall be left-handunless the direction of lay is specified otherwise by thepurchaser.6.4 The direction of lay shall be reversed in consecutivelayers.6.5 All wires in the conductor shall lie naturally in their truepositions in the completed conductor. They sha

23、ll tend to remainin position when the conductor is cut at any point and shallpermit restranding by hand after being forcibly unraveled at theend of the conductor.TABLE 1 Construction Requirements and Breaking Strength of Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper-Clad Steel ConductorsNOTE 1Metric EquivalentsFor

30、 numbers and diameters of the wires in theconcentric-lay-stranded conductors shall conform to the re-quirements prescribed in Table 1 (Note 2).NOTE 2For definitions of terms relating to conductors, referenceshould be made to (1) ANSI C42.35-latest revision and (2) TerminologyB354.8. Physical and Ele

31、ctrical Tests8.1 Tests for physical and electrical properties of wirescomposing concentric-lay-stranded conductors made fromcopper-clad steel wire shall be made before stranding.8.2 At the option of the purchaser, tension and elongationtests before stranding may be waived and the completeconductors

32、may be tested as a unit. The breaking strength of theconductors so tested shall be not less than that required in Table1.8.3 Where breaking strength tests are required on thefinished conductor, they shall be made on representativesamples not less than 4 ft (1.22 m) in length. For lots of 10 000lb (4

33、540 kg) or less, two samples shall be taken from separatereels or coils in the lot except that but one sample shall berequired where the total amount of conductor is 5000 ft (1525m) or less. For quantities over 10 000 lb, one sample for each10 000 lb, or fraction thereof, shall be taken, but the min

34、imumnumber of samples shall be three.8.4 Specimens of the completed conductor shall be tested ina tensile testing machine equipped with jaws suitable forgripping of the conductor or equipped for holding properlysocketed specimens. Any test in which the result is below thestated value and which is ob

35、viously caused by impropersocketing of the specimen, or due to the break occurring in orat the gripping jaws of the machine, shall be disregarded andanother sample from the same coil or reel shall be tested.9. Density9.1 For the purpose of calculating mass per unit length(Note 3), cross sections, an

36、d so forth, the density of thecopper-clad steel wire shall be taken as shown in Table 2 (Note4).NOTE 3The term mass per unit length is used in this specification asbeing more technically correct replaces the term “weights.”NOTE 4The value of density of copper-clad steel is an average valuewhich has

37、been found to be in accordance with usual values encounteredin practice. Equivalent expressions of density at 20C are given in Table2.10. Mass and Resistance10.1 The mass and electrical resistance of a unit length ofstranded conductor are a function of the length of lay. Theapproximate mass and elec

38、trical resistance may be determinedusing the standard increments shown in Table 3. When greateraccuracy is desired, the increment based on the specific lay ofthe conductor may be calculated (Note 5).NOTE 5The increment of mass or electrical resistance of a completedconcentric-lay-stranded conductor

40、 parallel to the conductor axis.The stranding factor m for the completed stranded conductor is thenumerical average of the stranding factors for each of the individual wiresin the conductor, including the straight core wire, if any (for which thestranding factor is unity). The stranding factor (mind

41、) for any given wire ina concentric-lay-stranded conductor ismind5 =1 1 9.8696/n2!where n = length of lay/diameter of helical path of the wire. Thederivation of the above is given in NBS Handbook 100.11. Variation in Area11.1 The area of cross section of the completed conductorshall be not less than

42、 98 % of the area specified. The area ofcross section of a conductor shall be considered to be the sumof the cross-sectional areas of its component wires at anysection when measured perpendicularly to their individual axes(Note 6).NOTE 6For the convenience of the users of this specification, Table 4

43、has been prepared giving areas, resistances per 1000 ft, and mass per 1000ft, and per mile, of the various constructions referred to in Table 1.12. Inspection12.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, the manufacturer shall be responsible for the perfor-mance of all inspection

44、 and test requirements specified.12.2 All inspections and tests shall be made at the place ofmanufacture unless otherwise especially agreed to between themanufacturer and the purchaser at the time of the purchase.12.3 The manufacturer shall afford the inspector represent-ing the purchaser all reason

45、able manufacturers facilities nec-essary to ensure that the material is being furnished inaccordance with this specification.13. Packaging and Package Marking13.1 Package sizes for conductors shall be agreed upon bythe manufacturer and the purchaser in the placing of individualorders.13.2 The conduc

46、tors shall be protected against damage inordinary handling and shipping. If heavy wood lagging isrequired, it shall be specified by the purchaser at the time of thepurchase.13.3 The net mass, length (or lengths, and number oflengths, if more than one length is included in the package),size, grade of

47、 conductor, purchase order number, and any othermarks required by the purchase order shall be marked on a tagattached to the end of the conductor inside of the package. Thesame information together with the manufacturers serialnumber (if any) and all shipping marks required by thepurchaser shall app

48、ear on the outside of each package.TABLE 3 Standard Increments Due to StrandingType of ConductorIncrement (Increase) of Resistanceand Mass, %3 Wire 0.87 Wire 1.019 Wire 1.4B228 11314.
