1.1 This specification covers bare compact round stranded
conductors made from uncoated copper wires of a single input
wire (SIW) diameter for general use as an electrical conductor.
These conductors shall be constructed with one or more layers of
helically laid compacted wires (Explanatory Notes 1, 2, and 3).
1.2 The SI values for density are to be regarded as the
standard. For all other properties, the inch-pound values are to
be regarded as the standard, and the SI units may be
approximate. 2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The
documents listed below are referenced within the subject
standard but are not provided as part of the standard. B3
