Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors, Hard, Medium-Hard, or Soft
NEMA/EEMAC (National Electrical Manufacturers Association/Electrical Equipment
Manufacturers Association of Canada)
NEMA WC 26-2008/EEMAC 201-2008
Binational Wire and Cable Packaging Standard
3 Definitions
The following definition shall apply in this Standard:
Line wire — a covered conductor that
(a) carries no voltage rating;
(b) is used mainly for overhead distribution lines; and
(c) is used and installed as a bare conductor.
4 Materials
4.1 Conductor
4.1.1 General
Conductor strands may be filled with a corrosion inhibitor in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 129.
4.1.2 Aluminum and aluminum alloy conductors (ASC and AASC)
Before the application of the covering,
(a) a Type Al aluminum conductor (concentric-lay-stranded ASC) shall meet the requirements of
CAN IC SA-C61 089;
(b) a Type A2 aluminum alloy conductor (concentric-lay-stranded AASC) shall meet the requirements of CAN/CSA-C61 089; and
(c) a Type Al aluminum conductor (compact round ASC) shall meet the requirements of CSA C49.5.
4.1.3 Aluminum conductors steel reinforced Al/S1A and A1F/S1A
(ACSR)
The steel core wire used for composite conductors shall meet the minimum requirements for S1A wires. Before the application of the covering,
(a) a Type Al/S1A conductor (concentric-lay-stranded ACSR) shall meet the requirements of CAN/CSA-C61 089; and
(b) a Type Al FIS1A conductor (compact round ACSR) shall meet the requirements of CSA C49.2.
4.1.4 Copper conductors
4.1.4.1
Before the application of the covering, stranded copper conductors shall be of medium hard temper meeting the requirements of ASTM B8 for sizes No. 4/0 AWG and smaller.
4.1.4.2
Before the application of the covering, solid copper conductors shall be of medium hard temper meeting the requirements of ASTM B2.
4.2 Covering
The covering shall be linear low.density, medium-density, or high-density polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene compound that meets the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 129, except that it may include a maximum of 5% reclaimed material.
The covering carries no voltage rating, and the line wire shall be treated as a bare conductor.
S Construction
5.1 Conductor
Types Al (ASC), A2 (AASC), and Al /Si A (ACSR) conductors shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 1.
Copper conductors shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 2. Type Al F (compact round ASC) conductors shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 3.
Type Al F/Si A (compact round ACSR) conductors shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements specified in Table 4.
5.2 Covering
The minimum thickness of the extruded covering on the conductors shall be as given in Table 5 when determined in accordance with the apparatus and method specified in the insulation and jacket materials tests (thickness) in CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 2556.CSA C68.9-09 pdf free download.
