1、Designation: B 787/B 787M 04Standard Specification for19 Wire Combination Unilay-Stranded Copper Conductorsfor Subsequent Insulation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 787/B 787M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the ca

2、se of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers bare combination unilay-stranded conductors made from round cop

3、per wires, eitheruncoated or coated with tin or lead alloy for insulated conduc-tors for electrical purposes. These conductors shall be con-structed with a central core wire surrounded by two layers ofhelically laid wires, resulting in an outer diameter equal to thecompressed-stranded equivalent con

4、ductor. (See ExplanatoryNote 1 and Note 2).NOTE 1For the purpose of this specification, combination unilayconductor is defined as follows: a central core wire surrounded by a layerof six helically laid wires of the same diameter as the core wire with ahelically laid outer layer containing six smalle

5、r wires alternated betweensix wires of the same diameter as the wires in the layer underneath. Bothlayers have a common length and direction of lay (see Fig. 1).1.2 For the purpose of this specification, normal conductorclassification (Class AA, A, B, C) is not applicable as theseconductors are inte

6、nded for subsequent insulation. The descrip-tive term combination unilay-stranded shall be used in place ofconductor classification.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

7、 twosystems 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-

8、ments 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.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this s

9、tandard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
