Synopsis

Double Galvanized Steel Strand and Iron Wire for Electrical Transmission and Distribution — practical test data for design and engineering.

This technical booklet presents test results on steel strand and iron wire used as power conductors. It covers both continuous currents and sine-wave alternating currents, offering data you can apply when designing transmission and distribution lines that may use steel conductors.

The report explains the purpose of the tests, the sample sizes and grades examined, and the methods used to measure resistivity, resistance, temperature coefficients, and AC behavior. It also discusses how current, frequency, and temperature affect resistance and inductance, and it includes results, curves, and tables that compare different grades of strand and wire. You’ll find guidance on when steel conductors can be reliable and economical, along with concrete design data and practical considerations for line losses and current carrying capacity.
What you’ll experience or learn
  • How resistivity and resistance of galvanized steel strand and iron wire change under continuous and alternating currents
  • The relationship between current, frequency, and skin effects, including internal inductance
  • Curves and tables for effective resistance, internal reactance, and line losses
  • Practical examples and considerations for selecting grade and size of steel conductors for various transmission needs
This edition is aimed at engineers and designers seeking empirical data to support conductor selection, line design, and cost evaluation. It presents a clear, design-focused view of the electrical properties and performance of common steel conductors used in power lines.
Ideal for readers of technical transmission engineering references, this booklet offers usable figures and comparisons that help inform decisions about line construction, conductor choice, and overall efficiency.

  • Detailed test scope and methodology for continuous and AC current conditions
  • Resistivity, temperature coefficients, and AC resistance data
  • Internal inductance and skin-effect considerations across several grades
  • Tables and curves translating data into practical design guidance

If you design or specify steel power conductors, this booklet provides the concrete data and reference materials you need.
