SPECIFICATION NO. OHL-1.2

SPECIFICATION FOR ALUMINIUM ALLOY STRANDED CONDUCTORS
1.
Standard Specification:
The conductor shall be constructed and tested to conform and comply with the latest
editions of British Standards BSEN 50182 & 50183.
2.
Site Conditions:
The conductor shall be suitable for continuous operation at temperature of 80 deg.
C. (30 Deg. C. temperature rise for conductor above ambient temperature) without
deterioration in the hot, humid and salt laden dusty climate prevailing in the area.
The maximum values of humidity and temperature experienced in this country are
100% and 50 deg. C. respectively.
3.
Scope and Nature of work:

presence of FEWA representatives, suitable packing, transporting, offloading at site
of works or FEWA stores in satisfactory condition and proper stacking as
directed by FEWA.
4.
Construction & Material:

The conductor shall be constructed of heat-treated aluminium-magnesium-silicon
alloy wires and having the mechanical and electrical properties specified in BSEN
50182.
5.
Standard Values for All Aluminium Alloy wires:

Resistivity:
The standard value of resistivity of all aluminium alloy wire, which shall be used for
calculation only is to be taken as per BSEN 50183.
Density:
At a temperature of 20 deg.C., the density of aluminium alloy wire is to be taken as
2.7 gm/cm3.
Coefficient of linear expansion:
The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium alloy wire is to be taken as 23x10 to
the power minus six per celsius degree.
Constant mass temperature coefficient:
At a temperature of 20 deg.C, the constant mass temp. coeff. of resistance of
aluminium alloy wire measured between two potential points rigidly fixed to the wire, is
taken as 0.00360 per Celsius degree.
Modulus of Elasticity:
The modulus of elasticity of aluminium alloy wire is to be taken as 68,000 N/sq.mm.
OHL-1.2 (Page 1 of 10)
For more accurate calculations, measured values may be used for density, coefficient of linear expansion, constant mass temperature coefficient and modulus of
elasticity.
6.
Stranding:
The Aluminium alloy wires used in the construction of stranded conductor shall,
before stranding, satisfy all the relevant requirements of the specification. The lay
ratio of the different layers shall be within the limits given in the BSEN standards. In all

closely stranded. In aluminium alloy stranded conductors having multiple layers of
wires, the lay ratio of any layer shall not be greater than the lay ratio of the layer
immediately beneath it. The completed conductor shall be free from dirt, grit,
excessive amounts of drawing oil and other foreign deposits.
7.
Joints in Wires:
There shall be no joints in any wires of a stranded conductor containing seven wires,
except those made in the base rod or wire before final drawing. In stranded
conductors containing more than seven wires, joints in individual wires are permitted in
any layer except the outermost layer, but no two such joints shall be less than 15m
apart in the complete stranded conductor. Such joints shall be made by
resistance butt-welding and shall subsequent to welding, be annealed over a
distance of 200mm on each side of the joint.
