ASTM B231 – Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors
ASTM B400 – Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors
CSA C60889 – Hard-drawn aluminum wire for overhead line conductors
CSA C61089 – Round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors
ASTM D1248 – Polyethylene Plastics Extrusion Materials for Wire and Cable
Covered Line Wire AAC Aluminum Conductor Construction
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires concentrically stranded and covered with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene (XLP).
