1、Designation: B784 01 (Reapproved 2017)1Standard Specification forModified Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors forUse in Insulated Electrical Cables1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B784; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption

2、or, in the case of revision, 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.1NOTETypos in Section 1 were corrected editorially in April 2017.1. Scope1.1 This specifi

3、cation covers bare modified concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round copper wires, eitheruncoated or coated with tin, lead, or lead alloy for general usein insulated electrical cables. These conductors shall be con-structed with a central core consisting of not more than sevenwires, surrou

4、nded by one or more layers of helically laid wires.1.2 For the purposes of this specification, conductors areclassified as follows (Explanatory Note 1 and Note 2):1.2.1 Class B ModifiedConductors to be insulated withvarious materials such as rubber, paper, and crosslink polyeth-ylene.1.2.2 Class C M

5、odified and Class D ModifiedConductorswhere greater flexibility is required than is provided by ClassB Modified conductors.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 the values from the twos

6、ystems may result in non- conformance with the specification.For conductor sizes designated by AWG or kcmil sizes, therequirements in SI units are numerically converted from thecorresponding requirements in inch-pound units. For conductorsizes designated byAWG or kcmil, the requirements in SI unitsh

7、ave been numerically converted from corresponding valuesstated or derived in inch-pound units. For conductor sizesdesignated by SI units only, the requirements are stated orderived in SI units.1.3.1 For density, resistivity and temperature, the valuesstated in SI units are to be regarded as standard

8、.NOTE 1The significant differences in this specification from Specifi-cation B8 are as follows: (1) The central core is permitted to contain up toseven wires drawn into the assembly with an infinite length of lay whileSpecification B8 permits only one, and (2) The construction is applicableonly to s

32、of 65 %, provided that the area of crosssection after stranding is in accordance with Section 11.6.3 Where compressed stranding is required in order toinsulate the conductor properly, one or more layers of anystranded conductor consisting of 19 wires or more may beslightly compressed, thereby reduci

Physical and Electrical Tests of Stranded Conductorsof Soft Wires7.1 Tests for the electrical properties of wires composingconductors made from sof

34、t or annealed copper wire, bare orcoated, shall be made before stranding.7.2 Tests for the physical properties of soft or annealedcopper wire, bare or coated, may be made upon the wiresbefore stranding or upon wires removed from the completestranded conductor, but need not be made upon both. Care sh

35、allbe taken to avoid mechanical injury to wire removed from theconductor for the purpose of testing.7.3 The physical properties of wires when tested beforestranding shall conform to the applicable requirements of 10.2.7.4 The physical properties of wires removed from thecompleted stranded conductor

36、shall be permitted to vary fromthe applicable requirements of 10.2 by the following amounts(Explanatory Note 4):7.4.1 Average of Results Obtained on All Wires TestedTheminimum elongation required shall be reduced in numericalvalue 5 (for example, from 30 to 25 %) from the numericalrequirements for t

37、he wire before stranding.7.4.2 Results Obtained on Individual WiresThe elongationof individual wires shall be reduced in numerical value 15 fromthe minimum requirements before stranding (that is, 10 inaddition to the 5 allowed in 7.4.1), but in no case shall theelongation of any individual wire be l

38、ess than 5 %.7.5 In the event that the requirements prescribed in 7.4.2 aremet but those prescribed in 7.4.1 are not met, a retest shall bepermitted wherein all wires of the conductor shall be tested forthe purpose of final determination of conformance to 7.4.7.6 Elongation tests to determine compli

39、ance shall not bemade on the conductor as a unit (Explanatory Note 6).7.7 If a tinning, lead-coating, or lead-alloy-coating test isrequired, it shall be made on the wires prior to stranding.8. Density8.1 For the purpose of calculating mass per unit length,cross sections, etc., the density of the cop

40、per shall be taken as0.32117 lb/in.3or 8.89 g/cm3at 20C (Note 2 and ExplanatoryNote 7).NOTE 2The term “mass” is being used in this specification as beingmore technically correct. It replaces the term “weight.”9. Mass and Resistance9.1 The mass and electrical resistance of a unit length ofstranded co

41、nductor are a function of the length of lay. Theapproximate mass and electrical 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 (Explanatory Note 8).10. Requirements

42、 for Wires10.1 The purchaser shall designate the type of wire and thekind of coating, if any, to be used in the conductor.10.2 Before stranding, the copper wire used shall meet all ofthe requirements of ASTM Specifications B3, B33, and B189that are applicable to its type.10.3 The central core shall

43、be made of wire of the same typeand temper as the concentric layers, unless otherwise specified.11. Variation in Area11.1 The area of cross section of the completed conductorshall be not less than 98 % of the area indicated in Column 1of Table 1. Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, themanuf

44、acturer may have the option of determining the cross-sectional area by either of the following methods; except thatin case of a question regarding area compliance, the method of11.1.2 shall be used.11.1.1 The area of cross section of a conductor may bedetermined by calculations from diameter measure

45、ments, ex-pressed to four decimal places, of its component wires at anypoint when measured perpendicularly to their axes.11.1.2 The area of cross section of a conductor may bedetermined by Test Method B263. In applying that method, theincrement in mass resulting from stranding may be the appli-cable

46、 value specified in 9.1 or may be calculated from themeasured component dimensions of the sample under test. Incase of a question regarding area compliance, the actual massincrement due to stranding shall be calculated.12. Inspection12.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, t

47、he manufacturer shall be responsible for the perfor-mance of all inspection and test requirements specified.12.2 All inspections and tests shall be made at the place ofmanufacture unless otherwise agreed upon by the manufacturerand the purchaser at the time of purchase.12.3 The manufacturer shall af
