This norm is applicable to the bare conductors for overhead lines cabled in concentric coats ,
either with the wires in aluminium alloy in accordance with the norm C 34-112. or with the
aluminium alloy wires and the steel wires covered with zinc in accordance with the norm
34-113. However, the norm C34-1254 imposes upon these two norms , the requirement of
additional information (5.3.3, 5.3.5, 5.3.6)
DEFINITIONS
2.4 Conductor
The whole composed of many wires in aluminium alloy, of the same nominal diameter or
not, and comprising or not of many steel wires covered with zinc. The wires are cabled in
concentric coats, while the conductor consists of steel wires covered with zinc. The
central wires are in steel, here where the extemal coats are of aluminium alloy.
2.2 Conductor equistrand
Conductors in which the wires have the same nominal diameter. To realise certain
conductors . the central wire can have an increased diameter with the consent of the
client

composes the conductor , rounded to 0.1 mm2 for the conductors of Section inferior to 228
mm2 and to square millimeter for the conductors of section superior or equal to 228 mm2.
2.7 Direction of cabling
While the conductor is held vertically , the wires can wind themselves either following the
central part of the letter Z , or following the central part of the letter S. In the first case, the
direction of cabling is called “to the right’ , and in the second case , it is called “to the left". 2.7 Connection of cabling
Connection between the axial length of a complete tour of a spiral formed by an individual
wire in the cabled conductor and the external diameter of this spiral.
2.8 Spire of cabling
Axial length of a complete tour of a spiral formed by a wire in the conductor.
CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Material
The cabled conductor is comprised of aluminium-magnesium-silicum alloy wires of
circular straight section , and if need be , of steel wires of circular straight section covered
with zinc,
The aluminium alloy wires are defined in the norm C 34-112 and the steel wires covered
with zinc in the norm C 34-113. For the class and the nuances chosen, all the wires
should have the properties prescribed in the norms C 34-112 and C34-113 , before
cabling
3.2 Dimensions of conductors
The recommended dimensions of the conductors are given in the tables of Annexes
ABC. The dimensions and cablings not figuring in these tables , can be studied and
the appropriate
given after an agreement between the manufacturer and the buyer
preseriptions of this norm should then be applied.
3.3 The external aspect
The surface of the conductor should be smooth , and should not have any rough patches,
irfegular protuberance (burr) or inclusions
ction of cabling
Two successive coats should always be cabled in reverse sense.
The directions of cabling for the conductors described in Annexes A, B, & C are given in
their tables. “
3.5 Connection of cabling
The connection of cabling of different coats should be within the limits fixed by Table | &

+ Directly under lying coat a i
In 8 steel core, the connection of cabling of one coat should not be superior to the cabling
‘onnection of the steel coat immediately lying under.
Also . in 2 conductor having many coats of aluminium alloy , the cabling connection of one coat
should not be superior to the cabling connection of the coat immediately lying under. In the two
ses. the distance between the connection of two neighbouring coats should not be inferior to
as.
For the conductors in Annexes B & C, the complementary characteristics on the value of cabling
connection of diverse coats, are indicated in the tables of Annex D. :
3.6 Aptitude at unwinding under mechanical tension
4 conductor should be apt in unwinding under mechanical tension. A method of control is
under study. -
3.7 Disentanglement
The wires of a conductor should remain in place or can just slightly move while we take”
away the fret placed at the extremity of the conductor (conductor unwound on the ground)
In case where the wires might move , they should be able to be replaced with hands.
3.8 Charge of rupture assigned to a conductor
Charge of rupture assigned to a homogeneous conductor in aluminium alloy is taken as
equal to the sum of resistance at minimum traction of each of the wires multiplied by their
section. The charge of rupture assigned to the bimetallic conductors is the sum of resistance at minimum
traction of each of the alloyed wires multiplied by their section, this sum being increased by the
sum of charge of the steel wires corresponding to a length compatible with the one of aluminium
alloy, at the time of its rupture.
To allow a specification and for the convenience , this charge of steel wires is taken , by
default , as equal to the charge corresponding to a lengthening of 1 % on a test-tube of
250 mm length.
3.9 Electrical resistance of a conductor
3.10
31
The theoretical electrical resistance of the conductors designated in the Annexes A, B, C
's given in these tables
For the other conductors, the evaluation of the theoretical electric resistance is done by
taking into account for each wire composing the conductor, of a coefficient of increase of
resistance due at the cabling, established on the average cabling connection , according
to the article 3.5 and indicated in the tables of Annex E
Mass of conductor
The theoretic mass of non-greased conductors designated in the Annexes A,B & C are
given in their tables .
As compared to these theoretic masses, it is accorded a tolerance of + 2%.
For other conductors , the evaluation of the mass is done by taking into account for each
wite composing the conductor of @ coefficient of increase of mass due at the cabling ,
established on the average cabling connections , according to the article 3.5 and
indicated in the tables of Annex &
Greasing of conductors
The internal coats of conductors should be greased with a neutral grease vis-a-vis the
aluminium alloy and of zinc and chemically stable Its dropping point should be atleast
equal to 65 °C for the homogeneous conductors of nominal section inferior to 228 mm2
and to 95°C for the other conductors 5

for each conductor designated in Annexes A,B & C is indicated in their tables , of one part
with the external coat greased . and the other with external coat non-greased
The tolerance on the mass of grease is of # 30%
The calculation of the mass of grease of a conductor is given in Annex F., 3.43

3.12 Length delivered on a reel
Atthe time of manufacture of a conductor , the measure of the length of conductors
during the winding on the reel, should be assured with a device giving a precision of
£1°%
As far as the tolerance on the length delivered on the reels is concerned , as
compared to the ones ordered, the ordered ones should be agreed between the
client and the manufacturer.
In absence of contractual documents between the client and the manufacturer , and
while notably, for certain lengths of conductors, the technical reasons ( crossing a
iver, long range on mountain, average range of 450 m ) impose, that the tolerance
should be less raised, the value and the meaning of these should be made precise in
the order, the tolerance applied is as follows
The lenath delivered on a reel is equal to the length indicated in the Order , with a
tolerance of 5% , with a minimum of + 50m
For the 5% of the total length of the Ordered conductor , it can deliver reels of inferior
length 2s compared to the one decided through the order. The smallest length
Gelivered here should not be less than 400m. At the outside , for the conductors of
nominal section more equal to 228mm’, this smallest length should not be less than
20% of the length decided per reel
Unless decided otherwise between the parties, each reel should consist of only one
length of conductor.
Soldering

ng should be done on the steel wires covered with zinc: +
3.13.2 Aluminium alloy wires
a) Number of solderings :
with the excéption of the cases given hereafter, the presence of soldering on
individual wires of aluminium alloy, done after the final reducing of diameter , is
tolerated. in any case , no soldering should be done except during the risky
breakage of wires occuring at the time of cabling. In case where the mode of
manufacturing consists of systematic assembling of wires between the reels by
temporary soldering, the section of conductor consisting of soldering should be
eliminated
No soldering should be done on the external coat of the homogeneous conductors
for sections superior or equal to 228 mm2 and on the external coat of bimetallic
conductors. Moreover, on the external coat of wires of homogeneous conductors of the section
inferior to 228mm2 , the number of solderings should not exceed , one by section
of length of 1500 m per reel
In any case , the no. of solderings should verify the table hereunder
NUMBER OF COATS MAXIMUN NUMBER OF
F ALUMINIUM ALLOY | SOLDERINGS ALLOWED BY
oe |_ SECTION OF 1500 METERS _|
2
A minimum distance of 50m should be respected between 2 solderings.
b) Soldering procedure :
The solderings should be done by heating effect of Joule, or by cold pressure; in
the later case , the wire should be reheated on a minimum length of 25mm on both
sides of the soldering
On the length of the reheated wire , the mechanical characteristics of a full wire are
not required . At all times, the resistance at the traction of a wire should be
Mpa and 208 Mpa ;
@ ©) Signaiting of soldering :
For the wires of external coat, there should be a mark on both sides and a few
between 139
centimeters from the solderings, this mark is done by for e.g. a ring of bright red
celluloid paint or a rubber band of red-brown colour.
4, PACKING & MARKING : 4
4.1 Packing
The manufacturer should inform his client . immediately after receiving each lot , or, if'it
has not gone through the expected tests in the procedure of recipe, during the delivery
@ number of reels that comprises the delivery
- the length of each one of them
- if there has been a number of solderings existing on the external coat of each reel
as well as the distance of each one of them from the free end of conductor Unless decided otherwise between the client and the manufacturer, the conductors
are delivered on wooden reels, according to the norm NFB 55007. The cheeks of
the reels should have sufficient diameter to prevent any risk of contact of the
conductor with the floor/ground , during the handling and transportation. The
diameter of the drum should be equal to atleast 30 times the diameter of a wound
conductor.
The reels should be able to support, without damage, the normal operation of
handling & transportation ( loading, unloading , trucking ) and allow a convenient
unwinding of the conductor under a maximum constraint of 15 Mpa.
To this effect, the conductor should be wound in spires as close as possible,
without overlapping of the spires of the same coat with a sufficient tension
permitting a good unwinding. For the conductors of section inferior to 228mm®, the
overlapping of the spires of the last coat can be tolerated , on a condition that it
does not affect the aptitude of unwinding of the conductor
Moreover, the free end of the conductor should be fixed on the cheek of the reel
with @ sufficient tension, to avoid any displacement of the final spires during their
handling & transportation.
The manufacturer has the power to use his usual type of reel, by choosing the one
that permits to observe the above mentioned conditions , following the section of
conductor and the length to be delivered. If an order necessitates the utilisation of
the reels having cheeks of a diameter superior to 1.60m or a total largeness
superior to 1.06m, the manufacturer should demand confirmation of the client
before executing the order.
The concucior should be protected according to the conditions of its
transportitiendling - for e.g. with planks , with the lattice, held against tiie conductor
by an appropriate fretting
4.2 Marking
Each reel should have on each cheek, a permanent label , with sufficient resistance to
bad weather, having the following information
- Name of manufacturer
- Number of reel
- Name of the client
&
- Number of the order
- Length of conductor
- Raw mass
- Type of conductor
-Mass of the reel (tare)
-Month and the year of manufacture & TESTS
5.1 Classification of tests
The tests are classified as
