- Abstract
- This handbook of aluminum wire tables is a companion publication to NBS Handbook 100, Copper Wire Tables, a review of which is contained in Part 1, Sections 1 and 2. Data are presented on the conductivities and resistivities of both solid and stranded wires of various sizes and composition, together with a variety of other data of interest to the designer of electrical equipment and installations. Values are expressed in both U. S. Customary and International System (SI) Units. Wire sizes involved are based on and restricted to those manufactured and typically used in the United States. American Wire Gage sizes are used for the smaller range of conductors from 56 gage through 4/0. Larger conductors are sized on the basis of circular mil area. The alloy compositions included in these tables are EC-0 (annealed), EC-H19, 5005-H19, and 6201-T81; values are given over a temperature range of 0 to 100 deg C.
