1、Designation:B22611(Reapproved 2016)Standard Specification forCored,Annular,Concentric-Lay-Stranded CopperConductors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B226;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers cored,annular,concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round soft copper wires,eitheruncoated
3、 or coated with tin for use as electrical conductors(Explanatory Note 1 and Note 2).1.2 The constructions prescribed herein are suitable for bareconductors,or for conductors to be covered with weather-resistant(weather-proof)material,or for conductors to beinsulated with rubber,varnished cloth,or im
4、pregnated paper,except types such as“oil-filled”or“gas-filled”(ExplanatoryNote 3).1.3 Cored,annular conductor constructions not included inthis specification shall be specifically agreed upon between themanufacturer and the purchaser when placing the order.1.4 These constructions are not recommended
5、 for use aselectric furnace leads where great flexibility is required andspecial conductor designs are indicated in consideration of theparticular service requirements.1.5 The SI values for density are regarded as the standard.For all other properties the inch-pound values are to beregarded as stand
