Joints5.1 Joints or splices may be made in the finished individualaluminum-clad steel wires composing concentric-lay strandedconductors using more than three wires, provided that suchjoints

10、 or splices have a protection and electrical conductanceequivalent to that of the wire itself and that they do notdecrease the strength of the finished stranded conductor belowthe minimum breaking strength shown in Table 1. Such jointsor splices shall be not closer than 50 ft (15 m) to any other joi

(300 to 380 mm). The proper sleeve is slipped over the end of oneof the wires. The wires are then butt-welded and dre

12、ssed off to a finisheddiameter equal to that of the wire. The weld area is then tempered, thesleeve centered over the weld area and compressed to provide a finishedjoint that is smooth and neat in appearance. This joint has a tensile strengthof approximately 90 % of rated breaking strength of the wi

Strength of Conductor7.1 The breaking strength of the completed conductorscomposed of 7 wires, 19 wires, and 37 wires shall

21、be taken as90 % of the sum of the breaking strengths of the aluminum-clad wires, calculated from their nominal diameter and theappropriate specified minimum tensile strength given in Table1, Tensile Requirements, of Specification B415 (20 % columnonly). The breaking strength of completed conductors

22、com-posed of 3 wires shall be taken as 95 % of the sum of thebreaking strengths of the aluminum-clad wires calculated in thesame manner.8.

Physical and Electrical Tests9.1 Tests for physical and electrical properties of wirescomposing concentric-lay stranded conductors made fromaluminum-clad steel wire shall be made before stranding

24、.9.2 At the option of the purchaser, tension and elongationtests before stranding may be waived and the completeconductors may be tested as a unit. The breaking strength of theconductors so tested shall be not less than that required in Table1.9.3 Where breaking strength tests are required on thefin

25、ished conductor, they shall be made on representativesamples not less than 4 ft (1.25 m) in length. For lots of 10 000lb (4540 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 (15

26、25m) or less. For quantities over 10 000 lb, one sample for each10 000 lb or fraction thereof, shall be taken, but the minimumnumber of samples shall be three.9.4 Specimens of the completed conductor shall be tested ina tension testing machine equipped with jaws suitable forgripping the conductor or

27、 equipped for holding properlysocketed specimens. Any test in which the result is below thestated value, and which is obviously 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 coi

28、l or reel shall be tested.10. Density10.1 For the purpose of calculating mass per unit length (seeNote 4), cross-sections, etc., the density of the aluminum-cladsteel wire shall be taken as 0.2381 lb/in.3(6.590 g/cm3) at 20C(Note 3). Other constants are given in Table 2.NOTE 3The value of the densit

29、y of aluminum-clad steel wire is anaverage value which has been found to be in accordance with usual valuesencountered in practice.NOTE 4The term mass per unit length is used in the specification asbeing more technically correct. It replaces the terms “weights” and “lineardensity.”11. Mass and Resis
