CONDUCTOR ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
CODE NAME Equivalent Electrical Maximum Maximum Current Ratings @ 75°C Inductive Single Phase
Areas DC AC (a) Reactance Voltage Drop
Aluminium Copper Resistance Resistance Winter Night Summer to 0.4m @ 0.4m
@20°C @75°C Noon spacing
mm² mm² Ω/km Ω/km A A Ω/km mV/A.m
(a) Wind Speed 1m/sec, emissivity 0.5, absorptance 0.5. Air temperature 10°C for winter night, 25°C for summer noon. Intensity of
solar radiation 1000 W/m² for summer noon. Angle of wind to conductor axis is 60o. For current ratings at different conductor
operating temperatures, refer to the graph on next two pages.
Calculation based on IEEE Std 738 – 1993.
