IEC/TC 7 - Overhead electrical conductors
To prepare International Standards and Specifications for fabrication and utilization of overhead electrical conductors, including: - All types of overhead ground wires, - All shapes of round and non-round wires, - Conductors made of various metals such as aluminium, steel, copper, or composite material supporting core etc. and their combinations, - Test methods for assessment of overhead electrical conductor performance in operation, - Have the cooperation with TC11 on hardware and accessories directly connected to conductor for the purpose of maintaining electrical/mechanical continuity, - Have the cooperation with SC86A on aerial optical cables used either for phase conductors or ground wires, such as the publication of the original OPGW standard now named IEC 60794-4.
Conducteurs pour lignes électriques aériennes
Préparer les normes et spécifications internationales pour la fabrication et l’utilisation des conducteurs électriques aériens, y compris : - Tous les types de câbles aériens y compris les fils de garde - Tous les formes de fils : ronds et de forme, - Conducteurs fabriqués à partir de divers métaux tels que l’aluminium, l’acier, le cuivre ou les matériaux composites soutenant le noyau, etc. et leurs combinaisons, - Méthodes d’essai pour l’évaluation des performances du conducteur électrique en fonctionnement, - Coopération avec le TC 11 sur le matériel et les accessoires directement connectés au conducteur dans le but de maintenir la continuité électrique/mécanique, - Coopération avec le SC 86A sur les câbles optiques aériens utilisés pour les conducteurs de phase ou les fils au sol, comme la publication de la norme originale de l’OPGW devenue l'IEC 60794-4.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
