Mechanical And Loading Data For Conductors.

This appendix gives, in the form of tables, mechanical data for copper wire, steel wire and cable most commonly used in electrical supply lines; also wind and ice loads which will be encountered under conditions of maximum loading as outlined in Section V, Rule 52.

The curves of Appendix C are based on the values given in the tables below, together with the following data:

Modulus of elasticity

Coefficient of linear expansion
