FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National
2)
Committees in that sense.
In order to promote international unification, the IEC expresses the wish that all National Committees
3)
should adopt the text of the IEC recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will
permit. Any divergence between the IEC recommendation and the corresponding national rules should, as
far as possible, be clearly indicated in the latter.

3 Designation system
3.1 A designation system is used to identify stranded conductors made of aluminium,
with or without steel wires.
3.2 Homogeneous aluminium conductors are designated Ax, where x identifies the type
of aluminium.
3.3 Composite aluminium conductors are designated Ax/Ay, where Ax identifies external
wires (or the envelope) and Ay identifies internal wires (or the core).
3.4 Composite aluminium-steel conductors are designated Ax/Syz, where Ax identifies
the external aluminium wires (envelope), and Syz identifies the steel core. In the
designation of steel wires, y represents the type of steel (regular, high or extra high
strength) and z represents the class of zinc coating (A or B).
3.5 Conductors are identified as follows:
a) a code number giving the equivalent conductive section of Al aluminium expressed
in mm2;
b) a designation identifying the type of wires constituting the conductor. For composite
conductors the first designation applies to the envelope and the second to the core;
c) one or two numbers giving the stranding of the conductor. For composite conduc-
tors, the first number identifies the number of wires of the envelope and the second
identifies the number of wires of the core.
Examples:
500-Al-37: Conductor made of 37 wires of Al aluminium. Its area is 500 mm2.
500-A2-37: Conductor made of 37 wires of A2 aluminium with a total conductive area
equivalent to 500 mm 2 of Al aluminium. From the tables of annex D we find its actual
area is equal to 575 mm2.
500-A1 /S1 A-45/7: Conductor made of 45 wires of Al aluminium and 7 wires of regular
strength steel with class 1 zinc coating. The area of Al aluminium is 500 mm 2 and, from
the tables of annex D, the area of S1 A steel is 34,6 mm2.
500-A3/S3A-54/7: Conductor made of 54 wires of A3 aluminium and 7 wires of extra
high strength steel with class 1 zinc coating. The A3 aluminium area is equivalent in
conductivity to 500 mm 2 of Al aluminium (the actual area of A3 aluminium is 581 mm2
and of steel is 75,3 mm 2, which can be obtained from the tables of annex D).
4 Definitions
The following definitions apply in this International Standard:
aluminium: All types of aluminium and aluminium alloys listed.

concentric lay stranded conductor: A conductor composed of a central core surrounded
by one or more adjacent layers of wires being laid helically in opposite directions.
direction of lay: The direction of twist of a layer of wires as it moves away from the
viewer. A right-hand lay is a clockwise direction and a left-hand lay is an anti-clockwise
direction.
Alternative definition: The direction of lay is defined as right-hand or left-hand. With right-
hand lay, the wires conform to the direction of the central part of the letter Z when the
conductor is held vertically. With left-hand lay, the wires conform to the direction of the
central part of the letter S when the conductor is held vertically.

in a stranded conductor.
lay ratio: Means the ratio of the lay length to the external diameter of the corresponding
layer of wires in the stranded conductor.
lot: A group of conductors manufactured by the same manufacturer under similar condi-
tions of production. A lot may consist of part or all of the purchased quantity.
nominal: The name or identifying value of a measurable property by which a conductor or
component of a conductor is identified and to which tolerances are applied. Nominal
values should be target values.
steel ratio: The ratio of steel area to aluminium area as a percentage in Ax/Syz
conductors.
wire: A filament of drawn metal having a constant circular cross-section.
5 Requirements for stranded conductors
5.1 Material
Stranded conductors shall be made up of round aluminium wires and, when applicable, of
round zinc-coated steel wires. All wires shall have before stranding the properties speci-
fied in IEC 104, IEC 888 and IEC 889.
5.2 Conductor sizes
A list of conductor sizes is given as guidance in annex D and it is recommended that for
new designs of conductor sizes should be selected from those listed. Conductors for
existing or established designs of overhead lines as well as sizes and strandings not
included in this standard may be designed and supplied as agreed upon by the manu-
facturer and purchaser and the relevant requirements of this standard shall apply.

5.3 Surface
rf rfections visible to the unaided eye
The su ace of the conductor shall be free from all impe
(normal corrective lenses accepted), such as nicks, indentations, etc., not consistent with
good commercial practice.
5.4 Stranding
5.4.1 All wires of the conductor shall be concentrically stranded.
5.4.2 Adjacent wire layers shall be stranded with reverse lay directions. The direction of
lay of the external layer shall be "right-hand" except when specifically indicated in the
purchase order.
5.4.3 The wires in each layer shall be evenly and closely stranded around the underlying
wire or wires.
5.4.4 The lay ratios for the zinc-coated steel wire layers shall be as follows:
the lay ratio for the six-wire layer of 7 and 19-wire steel cores shall be not less than
a)
16 nor more than 26;
b) the lay ratio for the 12-wire layer of 19-wire steel core shall be not less than 14 nor
more than 22.
5.4.5 The lay ratios for the aluminium layers of all types of conductor shall be as follows:
a) the lay ratio for the outside layer of aluminium wires shall be not less than 10 nor
more than 14;
b) the lay ratios for the inner layers of aluminium wires shall be not less than 10 nor
more than 16.
5.4.6 In a 19-wire steel core, the lay ratio of the 12-wire layer shall be not greater than
the lay ratio of the 6-wire layer. Similarly, in a conductor having multiple layers of alu-
minium wires, the lay ratio of any aluminium layer shall be not greater than the lay ratio of
the aluminium layer immediately beneath it.
5.4.7 All steel wires shall lie naturally in their position in the stranded core, and where
the core is cut, the wire ends shall remain in position or be readily replaced by hand and
then remain approximately in position. This requirement also applies to the outer layer of
aluminium wires of a conductor.
5.4.8 Before stranding, aluminium and steel wires shall have approximately uniform
temperatures.
5.5
Joints
5.5.1 There shall be no joints of any kind made in the zinc-coated steel core wire or wires
during stranding.
5.5.2 No more than one jointed aluminium finished wire as permitted in the references of
5.1 shall be used per length of conductor.
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST IEC 61089:1999/A1:1999
1089©IEC – 15 –
5.5.3 During stranding, no aluminium wire welds shall be made for the purpose of achiev-
ing the required conductor length.
5.5.4 Joints are permitted in aluminium wires unavoidably broken during stranding,
provided such breaks are not associated with either inherently defective wire or with the
use of short lengths of aluminium wires. Joints shall conform to the geometry of original
wire, i.e. joints shall be dressed smoothly with a diameter equal to that of the parent wires
and shall not be kinked.
Joints in aluminium wires shall not exceed those specified in table 1. These joints shall
not be closer than 15 m from a joint in the same wire or in any other aluminium wire of the
completed conductor.
Joints shall be made by electric butt welding, electric butt cold upset welding or cold
pressure welding (note 1) and other approved methods. These joints shall be made in
accordance with good commercial practice. The first type of joints shall be electrically
annealed for approximately 250 mm on both sides of the weld.

5.5.5 While the joints specified in 5.5.4 are not required to meet the requirements of un-
jointed wires (note 2), they shall withstand a stress of not less than 75 MPa for annealed
electric buttwelded joints, and not less than 130 MPa for cold pressure and electric butt
cold upset welded joints. The manufacturer shall demonstrate that the proposed welding
method is capable of meeting the specified strength requirements.
NOTES
1 It is a practice in some countries to require the annealing of cold pressure joints made in A2 or A3 material.
2 The behaviour of properly spaced wire joints in stranded conductor is related to both tensile strength
and elongation. Because of higher elongation properties, the lower strength annealed electric buttwelded
joint gives a similar overall pe rformance to that of a cold pressure or an electric butt cold upset welded
joint.
5.6
Linear density – Mass per unit length
5.6.1 The masses given in the tables of annex D have been calculated for each size and
stranding of conductor using densities for the aluminium and zinc-coated steel wires as
given in the standards listed in 5.1, the stranding increments given in table 2, and the
cross-sectional areas for aluminium and zinc-coated steel wires based on their theoretical
unrounded diameters.

1089©!EC - 17 --
5.6.2 The increments (note 1) in per cent, for mass due to stranding, based on the mean
lay ratios given in 5.4.4 and 5.4.5, shall be taken as given in table 2.
5.6.3 Whenever a conductor is to be greased (note 2), the nominal mass of grease shall
be calculated according to the method given in annex C.
NOTES
1 The mass of a stranded conductor is affected by the lay factor. With the exception of the centre wire,
all wires are longer than the stranded conductor and the increase in mass depends upon the lay ratio
employed.
2 Grease requirements are under consideration.

5.7 Conductor strength
5.7.1 The rated tensile strength of a homogeneous aluminium conductor shall be taken as
the sum of the minimum tensile strength of all wires as defined in 5.7.4.
5.7.2 The rated tensile strength of composite Ax/Syz conductors shall be the sum of
the tensile strength of the aluminium po rt
ion plus the strength of steel corresponding
to an elongation compatible with that of aluminium at rupture load. For the purpose of
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------

specification and practicability, this strength of steel is conservatively established as the
stress corresponding at 1% elongation in a 250 mm gauge length.
5.7.3 The rated tensile strength of composite aluminium conductors (Al/A2 or Al/A3)
shall be taken as the sum of the tensile strength of Al portion plus 95% of the tensile
strength of A2 or A3 portion.
5.7.4 The tensile strength of any single wire is the product of its nominal area and the
appropriate minimum stress given in the standards listed in 5.1.
6 Tests
6.1 Classification of tests
6.1.1
Type tests
Type tests are intended to verify the main characteristics of a conductor which depend
mainly on its design. They are carried out once for a new design or manufacturing process
of conductor and then subsequently repeated only when the design or manufacturing
process is changed.
Type tests shall be carried out only on a conductor which meets the requirements of all
the relevant sample tests.
6.1.2 Sample tests
Sample tests are intended to guarantee the quality of conductors and compliance with the
requirements of this standard.
6.2 Test requirements
Test requirements are as follows:
6.2.1 Type tests
a) joints in aluminium wires;
b) stress-strain curves;
c) breaking strength of conductor.
6.2.2
Sample tests
a) on wire before stranding:
- as per the applicable wire standards;
b) on the conductor:
- cross-sectional area;
- overall diameter;
- linear density;
-
surface condition;
- lay ratio and direction of lay.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST IEC 61089:1999/A1:1999
1089©IEC -21 -
6.3 Sample size
Samples for the tests specified in 6.2.2 shall be taken at random from the outer end
ace condition of the
of 10% of the drums of conductor. However, the inspection of the su rf
conductor shall be carried out on every drum prior to lagging.
6.4 Sample length
6.4.1 Samples for tests on individual aluminium and zinc-coated steel core wires shall be
taken before stranding and tested in accordance with the standards listed in 5.1.
6.4.2 Samples for tests of individual wires after stranding when requested, shall consist
of a 1,5 m length or cut from the outer end of the coils or drums of conductors.
6.4.3 The sample length required for tensile and stress-strain tests shall be at least
400 times the diameter of the conductor but not less than 10 m.
The length of samples in this subclause is the minimum required for a good accuracy of
stress-strain curves. In cases where the manufacturer can demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the purchaser with significant comparative test results that a shorter length can give
equally accurate results then a short length of samples may be used.
6.5 Type tests
6.5.1 Stress-strain curves shall be supplied as a type test when requested by the
purchaser and shall represent the best knowledge of the behaviour of the purchased
conductor under load.
6.5.2 If agreed between purchaser and supplier when placing an order, stress-strain tests
shall be performed on the conductor and, when applicable, on the steel core, in
accordance with the method given in annex B.
6.5.3 Tensile test of the conductor
When tests for breaking strength of conductors are required, these shall withstand, without
the fracture of any wire not less than 95% of their rated tensile strength calculated accord-
ing to 5.7.
The breaking strength of conductors shall be determined by pulling a conductor in a
suitable tensile testing machine having an accuracy of at least ±1%. It is recommended
that the rate of increase of load should be as in B.6.8 of annex B. For the purposes of this
test, appropriate fittings shall be installed on the ends of the conductor samples. During
this test, the breaking strength of the conductor shall be determined by the load attained
at which one or more wires of the conductor are fractured. A retest, up to a total of three
tests, may be made if wire fracture occurs within 1 cm of the end fittings and the tensile
strength falls below the specified breaking strength requirements.

SIST IEC 61089:1999/A1:1999
1089©IEC - 23 -
6.5.4
Welding of aluminium wires
The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the purchaser that the method used for jointing
aluminium wires meets the strength requirements of 5.5.5 by supplying recent test results
or by performing the necessary tests.
6.6
Sample tests
6.6.1 Cross-sectional area
rtion of a stranded conductor shall
6.6.1.1 The cross-sectional area of the aluminium po
be taken as the sum of the areas of the aluminium wires composing the conductor based
on the diameter measurements made in accordance with 6.6.1.3.
This area shall not vary from the nominal value by more than ±2% in any sample and by
more than ±1,5% for the average of any four measured values at locations selected at
random with a minimum spacing of 20 cm.
6.6.1.2 The area of steel core, where applicable, shall be taken as the sum of the areas
of the solid wires composing the steel core based on the diameter measurements made in
accordance with 6.6.1.3.
6.6.1.3 The diameter of a wire shall include the metallic coating, where applicable, and
shall be measured using a micrometer caliper having flat su rfaces on both the anvil and
the end of the spindle and graduated to be read in micrometres. The diameter d in milli-
metres shall be the average of three diameter measurements, each of which is the
average of the maximum and minimum readings at a point taken near each end and in the
centre of the sample.
6.6.2 Conductor diameter
The conductor diameter shall be measured midway between the closing die and the
capstan on the stranding machine.
Measurements shall be made with a caliper graduated to be read in 0,01 mm. The
diameter shall be the average of two readings, rounded to two decimals of a millimetre,
taken at right angles to each other at the same location.
The diameter of the conductor shall not vary by:
±1% for diameters larger than or equal to 10 mm;
±0,1 mm for diameters smaller than 10 mm.
6.6.3 Linear density - Mass per unit length
The linear density (mass per unit length) of the conductor shall be determined by using
apparatus capable of achieving an accuracy of ±0,1%.
The mass of the conductor per unit length without grease shall not vary from its nominal
value given in the tables by more than ±2%.
The mass of grease in a conductor shall be determined from the difference between the
mass of the conductor with grease and its mass after removing all the grease. The mass
of grease shall correspond at least to the minimum values specified in annex C.

SIST IEC 61089:1999/A1:1999
1089 ©EC – 25 –
6.6.4 Breaking strength of wires
When required, breaking strength tests shall be made on wires obtained from conductors
after stranding. The specimen of wires shall be taken from the conductor sample and shall
be removed from its position and straightened, care being taken not to stretch it in so
doing.
The cross-sectional area of the wire is determined from the diameter measurements
indicated in 6.6.1.3. Then the straightened wire shall be installed in a suitable tensile test-
ing machine. The load shall be applied gradually with a rate of separation of the jaws not
less than 25 mm per minute and not greater than 100 mm per minute.
The load at failure divided by the cross-sectional area of the wire shall be not less than
95% of the applicable stress requirements prior to stranding. (The 5% reduction accounts
for handling and twisting of wires during stranding.)
6.6.5
Surface condition
The surface of the conductor shall comply with the requirements of 5.3.
6.6.6
Lay ratio and direction of lay
The lay ratio of each layer of the conductor shall be obtained through the ratio of the
measured lay length to the external diameter of the applicable layer.
The obtained values shall comply with the requirements of 5.4. In addition the direction of
each layer shall be noted and shall also comply with the requirements of 5.4.
6.7 Inspection
6.7.1 All tests and inspection shall be made at the manufacturer's plant prior to shipment
unless mutually agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser at the time of pur-
chase and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer's
operations. The manufacturer shall afford the inspector, representing the purchaser, all
necessary and sufficient testing facilities in order to satisfy him that the material is being
furnished in accordance with this standard.
6.7.2 When inspection is to be made by the purchaser before shipment, the tests shall
all be made within 10 days after receipt of a notice by the purchaser that the material is
ready to test, and the material shall be accepted or rejected at the manufacturer's plant.
If the purchaser does not have a representative present at the manufacturer's plant to test
the material at the expiration of the said 10 days, the manufacturer shall make the tests
herein provided for and furnish to the purchaser, when requested, official copies of the
results of such tests, and the purchaser shall accept or reject the material in accordance
with the results of such tests. Alternatively, the manufacturer may provide relevant test
results if these have already been carried out in production.

1 Scope
Amend as follows:
1.1 This International Standard specifies the electrical and mechanical characteristics of
round wire, concentric lay, overhead, electrical and stranded conductors made of combinations
of any of the following metal wires:
a) Aluminium wires
*
– hard drawn aluminium as per IEC 60889 designated A1 ;
– aluminium alloy type B as per IEC 60104, designated A2*;
– aluminium alloy type A as per IEC 60104, designated A3*.
b) Zinc coated steel wires (as per IEC 60888):
– regular strength steel, designated S1A or S1B, where A and B are zinc coating
classes, corresponding respectively to classes 1 and 2;
– high strength steel, designated S2A or S2B,
– extra high strength steel, designated S3A.
c) Aluminium-clad steel wires (as per IEC 61232):
– class 20SA, types A and B, designated respectively SA1A and SA1B;
– class 27SA, designated as SA2.
–––––––––
*
The resistivity of these metals is as follows (in increasing order):
A1: 28,264 nΩm (corresponding to 61 % IACS),
A2: 32,530 nΩm (corresponding to 53 % IACS),
A3: 32,840 nΩm (corresponding to 52,5 % IACS).

1.2 The conductor designations included in this standard are:
A1, A2, A3,
A1/S1A, A1/S1B, A1/S2A, A1/S2B, A1/S3A,
A2/S1A, A2/S1B, A2/S3A,
A3/S1A, A3/S1B, A3/S3A,

A1/SA1A, A2/SA1A, A3/SA1A,
S1A, S1B, S2A, S3A,
SA1A, SA1B, SA2.
NOTE – Conductors made of the same wire designation are called homogeneous conductors (e.g. A1, A2, S1A,
SA2, etc.). Furthermore, whenever reference is made to steel wires or conductors, these can either be
aluminium-clad or zinc-coated (Sx or SAx).
2 Normative references
Add, to the list, the title of the following standard:
IEC 61232: 1993, Aluminium-clad steel wires for electrical purposes
Page 9
3 Designation system
Add the following paragraphs at the end of 3.2:
Homogeneous conductors made of zinc-coated steel wires are designated S1A, S1B, S2A,
S3A.
Homogeneous conductors made of aluminium-clad steel wires are designated SA1A, SA1B or
SA2.
Add the following paragraph at the end of 3.4:
When aluminium-clad steel wires SA1A are used in a composite conductor instead of zinc-
coated wires, the designation becomes Ax/SA1A.
Add the following paragraphs at the end of 3.5:
500-A1/SA1A-54/7: Conductor made of 54 wires of A1 aluminium and 7 wires of aluminium-
clad steel class 20SA wires, type A (SA1A). The area of the A1 aluminium wires is equal to
2 2
484 mm and 62,8 mm for the aluminium-clad steel wires which can be found in the tables
of annex D.
40-SA1A-19: Conductor made of 19 wires of aluminium-clad steel wires class 20SA, type A
2
(SA1A). The area of aluminium-clad steel wires is 120 mm
which has the same conductivity
2
as 40 mm of A1 aluminium wires.
40-S1A-19: Conductor made of 19 wires of regular strength steel wires, with a zinc coating
2
type A (S1A). The area of steel wires is 271,1 mm which has the same conductivity as 40
2
mm of A1 aluminium wires.

4 Definitions
Amend, on page 11, the definition of “steel ratio” as follows:
steel ratio: The ratio of steel cross-sectional area to aluminium cross-sectional area given as
a percentage.
Page 11
5.1 Material
Amend as follows:
Conductors shall be made up of round aluminium wires, or round steel wires (zinc-coated or
aluminium-clad) or their combinations. All wires shall have before stranding the properties
specified in IEC 60104, IEC 60888, IEC 60889, and IEC 61232.
Page 13
5.4 Stranding
Amend 5.4.4 as follows:
5.4.4 The lay ratios for steel wires (zinc-coated or aluminium-clad) shall be as follows:
a) The lay ratio for the 6-wire layer of the 7 and 19-wire steel cores shall be not less than 16
nor more than 26.
b) The lay ratio for the 12-wire layer of 19-wire steel core shall be not less than 14 nor more
than 22.
c) The lay ratio for homogeneous steel conductors shall not be less than 10 nor more than
16 for all layers.
Replace the text of 5.4.6 by the following:
5.4.6 In a conductor having multiple layers of wires, the lay ratio of any layer shall be not
greater than the lay ratio of the layer immediately beneath it.
Amend 5.4.7 as follows:
5.4.7 All steel wires shall lie naturally in their position after stranding, and when cut, the wire
ends shall remain in position or be readily replaced by hand and then remain approximately in
position. This requirement also applies to the outer layer of aluminium wires of a conductor.
Although it is desirable that all steel wires of a steel conductor remain in position after being
cut, it may be difficult to achieve this property for steel conductors with more than 19 wires.

5.5 Joints
Amend 5.5.1 as follows:
5.5.1 During stranding, there shall be no joints of any kind made in the zinc-coated or
aluminium-clad steel wire or wires.
Page 17
5.7 Conductor strength
Add, on page 19, the following new text to 5.7.2:
The rated tensile strength (RTS) of homogeneous steel conductors (Sxy or SAx) shall be taken
as the sum of RTS of all wires at failure.
NOTE – RTS of A1/SA1A is calculated with the failure strength of component wires, based on the assumption
that wires have compatible elongations at rupture.
Add, after 5.7.4, the following new subclause:
5.8 Conductivity
The conductivity of composite conductors made of a combination of aluminium and steel wires
is calculated while neglecting the contribution of the conductivity of steel wires.
NOTE – An exception to this rule can be admitted, following an agreement between concerned parties, in the
case of optical ground wires (OPGW) which are currently being studied by technical committee 7.
The conductivity of homogeneous conductors with aluminium-clad steel wires (SAx) is
calculated based on the relevant conductivity in IEC 61232.
The conductivity of homogeneous zinc-coated steel conductors (Sx) is calculated based on an
average conductivity of 9 % IACS.
