FOREWORD

For many years manufacturers of electrical conductors have assigned code words to theirproducts to aid in identifying the different types and sizes of conductors in catalogs, orders, in-voices and other production and sales records. As the number of different types and sizes ofconductors increased over the years, the number of code words increased until by 1960 morethan 1,200 such words were in use. In some instances the same words came to be used todesignate more than one conductor. With more new constructions, new types of insulation,different tempers and other variations in the offing, there was a potential need for many morecode words.

Recognizing this situation, the Technical Committee on Electrical Conductor of The AluminumAssociation's Electrical Technical Division in 1960 initiated a study aimed at reducing thenumber of code words required for these products. During its study the Subcommitteeconsidered several different systems. Some would have accomplished the desired reduction innumber of code words but were considered too complicated for practical use. The systemfinally adopted retains the code words now in use but provides for designating variations inconstruction, temper, and type of covering or insulation by the use of suffixes to existing codewords, thus greatly reducing the number of new code words that otherwise would be required inthe future.

The conductors referenced in Tables 1 through 47 are manufactured in accordance withapplicable ASTM Specifications. It is the Technical Committee’s recommendation that thesecodes words should not be used for conductors manufactured in accordance to specificationsother than ASTM.

This booklet lists the code words that have been registered with The Aluminum Association,outlines the procedure for registering new code words and includes the details of the system.Preceding each group of tables covering conductors of the same general type is a list of thecharacteristics of each conductor that are implied by the code word itself without any suffix.This is followed by a list of the suffixes to be used following the code words for designatingvariations in those characteristics. Selected examples show how the system works.

Tables have also been added for British and Canadian code words. This has been added forinformational purposes only. The code words used in these tables are not controlled by theAluminum Association.

Following the tables is an alphabetical listing of the code words with references to the specifictable where the conductor data may be found. In addition, for informational purposes, the listalso includes code words used for UD cable, copper conductors and others used in Canadaand Great Britain to designate aluminum conductors made in those countries.

Details of construction for UD cable code words are covered in CODE WORDS FORUNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION CABLES, available from the Aluminum Association.

All Aluminum Association published data, specifications and other material are reviewed atleast every five years and revised, reaffirmed or withdrawn. Users are advised to contact theAluminum Association to ascertain whether the information in this publication has beensuperceded in the interim between publication and proposed use.

PROCEDURE FOR REGISTERING CODE WORDSFOR ALUMINUM ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORSWITH THE ALUMINUM ASSOCIATION

1. Submit code word to The Aluminum Association with a description of the conductor it is intended todesignate. (Words submitted may be chosen by the registrant or assigned by the Association office. Codewords used for conductors of other materials should not be used for aluminum.)

2. If the word submitted does not appear on the Association Master List it will then be referred to the ElectricalTechnical Committee. (In the case of registration by a member of that Committee, copies of the initial letterrequesting registration may be sent to other members of the Committee, thus combining Steps 1 and 2.)

3. Registration will become effective one month from the date of referral to the Committee, provided nocomments or objections have been received by that time.

4. Revised listings will be issued from time to time, as required.

(As an example, the S1 grade of steel has a lower tensile strength than the ASTMproduct. With CSA ACSR designs, there are three tensile strength grades ofsteel. The regular steel (S1) has a lower minimum tensile strength rating than the“regular” steel found in the ASTM design. The S2 grade would be equivalent tothe standard strength ASTM steel. The S3 grade would be equivalent to the highstrength ASTM steel.)
