GAV - Bare aluminium conductors

This European Standard is applicable to thermal-resistant aluminium alloy wires before stranding for manufacture of stranded conductors for overhead lines. It specifies the mechanical, electrical and thermal-resistant properties of wires in the diameter range commercially available.

This International Standard specifies the electrical and mechanical characteristics of concentric lay stranded overhead electrical conductors, containing one or more self-supporting aluminium or aluminium alloy layer(s) as depicted in Figure 1, made of combinations of any of the following metal wires: a) hard-drawn aluminium as per IEC 60889, designated A1; b) aluminium alloy type A or B as per IEC 60104, designated A2 or A3; c) thermal resistant aluminium alloy type as per IEC 62004, designated AT1, AT2, AT3 or AT4; d) regular strength steel as per IEC 60888, designated S1A or S1B; e) high strength steel as per IEC 60888, designated S2A or S2B; f) extra-high strength steel as per IEC 60888, designated S3A; g) aluminium-clad steel as per IEC 61232, designated 20SA, 27SA, 30SA or 40SA.

Lays down the electrical resistivity, tensile strength and elongation of commercial annealed aluminium electrical conductor wire having a diameter greater than 1 mm (0.0394 in).

Provides informations with regards to conductors specified in IEC 61089. Such informations include properties of conductors and useful methods of calculations. It does not discuss all theories and available methods for calculating conductor properties, but provides users with simple methods that provide acceptable accuracies.[
]This publication has the status of a Technical Report - type 3.

Prescribes the electrical properties of commercial-purity aluminium for busbars, regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the bar.

Specifies volume resistivity, tensile strength, 0.2 per cent proof stress and elongation after fracture for heat-treated aluminium alloy busbar material of the AI-Mg-Si type.[

Is applicable to aluminium-magnesium-silicon alloy wires of two types having different mechanical and electrical properties for the manufacture of stranded conductors for overhead power transmission purposes. It specifies the mechanical and electrical properties of wires in the diameter range 1.50 mm to 4.50 mm.

Applies to products designed for corrosion protection of bare electrical overhead conductors in any combination of:[
]- wires of aluminium and aluminium alloy.[
]- wires of steel coated with zinc (galvanized) and zinc alloy with aluminium.[
]- wires of steel coated with aluminium.

Applies to zinc-coated steel wires used in the construction and/or reinforcement of conductors for overhead power transmission        purposes, and is intended to cover all wires used in construction  where the individual wire diameters, including coating, are in the range of 1.25 mm to 5.50 mm.                                       Three grades of steel are included to reflect the needs of         conductor users: regular steel, high strength steel and extra high strength steel.                                                    Two classes of coating represented by minimum zinc mass per unit   area are included: Class 1 and Class 2.                           [
