Remarks:
The information in this table comes from catalogues published by respected cable providers and does not refer to official standards.
The types relating to AWG vary depending on the different design of the conductors, i.e. the number of strands. AWG > 20 refers to single strand conductors. AWG ≤ 20 refers to multi stranded conductors. Exact areas for specific number of strands can be found in cable provider catalogues.
Elpress has a programme for overhead line joints that comprises products for copper lines, alloyed aluminium lines of type AlMgSi (Super B) and Al59 and FeAl lines.
