A nu
2、mber 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 lists code word names for bare over-head electrical conductors that are recognized in NorthAmerica. A procedure has be
3、en outlined for adding additionalcode word names to this standard. Code word names have beenin existence for many years describing various conductorconstructions used in North America, Europe and elsewhere inthe world. Their origin is not clearly understood. The historicalbasis of this standard orig
4、inates from code word namesdeveloped years ago by member utility companies that partici-pated in the US Aluminum Association, Technical Committee.1.2 The code word names are grouped into tables of likeconstructions. The code word name construction can be modi-fied with the use of suffix modifiers th
5、at identify additionalconstruction variations. For example the type of steel corematerial used in an ACSR type of conductor may be modifiedwith the letter designation “/GA3” denoting the strength andtype of coating for the steel core material.1.3 The tables provide the applicable ASTM standard forwh
6、ich the conductor construction may be built to. For conduc-tors that are unique to use in Canada, the applicable CSAInternational standard is referenced.1.4 The tables include code word names that are referencedin Canadian CSA and European CENELEC standards. Theinformation is believed to be correct
7、however the user of thisdocument is encouraged to consult the applicable CSA orCENELEC standard for confirmation.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of
