| S = Solid C = Concentric Strand B = Bunched Strand RC = Rope Concentric Strand RB = Rope Bunched Strand |
B= |
Bunched Strand: A collection of strands twisted together in the same direction without regard to the geometric arrangement. |
C= |
Concentric Strand: A concentric stranded conductor consists of a central wire or core surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid wires. |
RB= |
Rope Bunched Strand: Rope strands are assemblies of bunch-stranded members. |
RC= |
Rope Concentric Strand: Conductors are available only in the specific numbers of wires necessary to make up the construction in concentric layers.These numbers are 7 and 19 conductor groups. |
S= |
A single solid wire of the stated gauge size. |
