1、 ABOUT THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION The member companies of The Aluminum Association, Inc., represent approximately 85 percent of domestic production of primary ingot and shipments of U.S. aluminum mill products. Mill products include sheet and plate; foil; extrusions; electrical conductor and wire, rod
2、 and bar. In addition to producers of primary ingot and mill products, the associations membership also includes secondary smelters, foundries and producers of master alloy and additives. The association is a primary source of statistics, standards, and economic and technical information on aluminum
3、 and the aluminum industry in the United States. NOTICE Disclaimer The use of any information contained herein by any member or non-member of The Aluminum Association is entirely voluntary.

Washington, D.C. 20006 II Ob04500 UOLb079 b85 Copyright O1 998 Ob04500 0DLb0AO 3T7 FOREWORD For many years manufacturers of ele
7、ctrical conductors have assigned code words to their products to aid in identifying the different types and sizes of conductors in catalogs, orders, in- voices and other production and sales records. As the number of different types and sizes of conductors increased over the years, the number of cod
8、e words increased until by 1960 more than 1,200 such words were in use. In some instances the same words came to be used to designate more than one conductor. With more new constructions, new types of insulation, different tempers and other variations in the offing, there was a potential need for ma
9、ny more code words. Recognizing this situation, the Technical Committee on Electrical Conductor of The Aluminum Associations Electrical Technical Division in 1960 initiated a study aimed at reducing the number of code words required for these products. During its study the Subcommittee considered se
10、veral different systems. Some would have accomplished the desired reduction in number of code words but were considered too complicated for practical use. The system finally adopted retains the code words now in use but provides for designating variations in construction, temper, and type of coverin
11、g or insulation by the use of suffixes to existing code words, thus greatly reducing the number of new code words that otherwise would be required in the future. The conductors referenced in Tables 1 through 47 are manufactured in accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications. It is the Technical C
12、ommittees recommendation that these codes words should not be used for conductors manufactured in accordance to specifications other than ASTM. This booklet lists the code words that have been registered with The Aluminum Association, outlines the procedure for registering new code words and include
13、s the details of the system. Preceding each group of tables covering conductors of the same general type is a list of the characteristics of each conductor that are implied by the code word itself without any suffix. This is followed by a list of the suffixes to be used following the code words for
14、designating variations in those characteristics. Selected examples show how the system works. Tables have also been added for British and Canadian code words. This has been added for informational purposes only. The code words used in these tables are not controlled by the Aluminum Association. Foll
15、owing the tables is an alphabetical listing of the code words with references to the specific table where the conductor data may be found. In addition, for informational purposes, the list also includes code words used for UD cable, copper conductors and others used in Canada and Great Britain to de
16、signate aluminum conductors made in those countries. Details of construction for UD cable code words are covered in CODE WORDS FOR UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION CABLES, available from the Aluminum Association.

29、 78,79 80 -4- PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING CODE WORDS FOR ALUMINUM ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS WITH THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION 1. Submit code word to The Aluminum Association with a description of the conductor it is intended to designate. (Words submitted may be chosen by the registrant or assigned by the Ass
30、ociation office. Code words used for conductors of other materials should not be used for aluminum.) 2. If the word submitted does not appear on the Association Master List it will then be referred to the Electrical Technical Committee. (In the case of registration by a member of that Committee, cop
31、ies of the initial letter requesting registration may be sent to other members of the Committee, thus combining Steps 1 and 2.) 3. Registration will become effective one month from the date of referral to the Committee, provided no comments or objections have been received by that time. 4. Revised l
32、istings will be issued from time to time, as required.
