Appendix
B
Mechanical and Loading Data for Conductors
The tables included in Appendix B contain mechanical data for conductors
commonly used in supply and communication lines. The ultimate strengths and
other data for copper, steel and iron wires are those contained in
specifications of the American Society for Testing Materials or are ultimate
strengths based upon such specifications. For other types and kinds of
conductors the ultimate strengths and other data used have been taken from
manufacturers’ specifications.
The requirements of Rule 43
were used to calculate the loaded conductor conditions.
