5.1 General
5.1.1 A conductor consisting of a single wire is designated as a solid conductor, while one consisting of a number of individual wires is designated as a stranded conductor. The American Wire Gauge (AWG) numbers, the kcmil (thousands of circular mils) sizes, and the square-millimeter sizes each signify a definite nominal total cross-sectional area (see Table 5.1 or Table 5.2) independent of the conductor material. The individual wires used in making up a stranded conductor are not required to correspond to any particular AWG or other standard gauge size. A tinsel conductor consists of a number of strands, twisted together, a portion of. or all strands being composed of one or more flattened wires of copper or copper alloy, helically wound on a fibrous polymeric thread. A conductor with a tubular cross-section and uniform wall thickness shall be of copper, and may be metal coated. A bus bar conductor consists of a single bar, or two or more bars stacked to form two or more layers, with each bar of solid rectangular cross-section with two plane, parallel surfaces and round or other simple regularly shaped edges. Fibrous yarns impregnated or coated with metal or other conductive materials may be used as a conductor, or may be assembled with other types of conductor strands to form a conductor. A carbon fiber filament conductor consists of a number of carbon fibers twisted together to form the conductor and the carbon fibers may be metal coated. A resistance wire is a conductor material used in products primarily as the source of heat based on a designed resistance per unit length. A magnet wire conductor shall consist of an enameled single conductor or an assembly of individually enameled wires which may be assembled or twisted together with an overall covering of film fiber, tape, or extruded compound to form a Litz wire. The magnet wire conductor shall have a minimum temperature rating of the AWM and be evaluated in accordance with the requirements in the Standard for Systems of Insulation Materials — General, UL 1446. The size of a conductor composed of or Containing conductive fibrous yarns and resistance wires induding carbon fiber filament conductors, a conductor of a tubular shape, or a bus bar conductor, and a magnet wire conductor shall be determined by conductor resistance described in 5.6.1. The circular mil area (CMA) of a rectangular conductor shall be determined from the formula.UL 758-2017 pdf free download.
