Scope

1.1 This specification covers aluminum alloys in the 8000 series cited in B800 in tempers "0" and H1X or H2X bare compact-round, compressed and conventional concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from round or shaped wires used as covered or insulated electrical conductors. These conductors shall be composed of a central core surrounded by one or more compacted, compressed or conventional layers of helically applied wires (Explanatory Notes 1 and 2).

1.2 The SI values for resistivity are regarded as standard. For all other properties, the inch-pound units are regarded as standard and the SI units may be approximate.

Note 1-Sealed conductors that are intended to prevent longitudinal water propagation are also permitted within the guidelines of this specification.
