Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of nominal cross-sectional areas available?
The nominal cross-sectional area for this range of covered conductors starts at 22 mm² (Midge) and goes up to 750 mm² (Tarantula), catering to various electrical transmission capacities.
How does the Type 8 covering affect the overall conductor diameter?
The Type 8 covering increases the overall diameter. For example, the Midge conductor has a bare overall diameter of 6.18 mm, which increases to 8.2 mm when covered.
What is the maximum resistance per kilometre for these conductors at 20 °C?
The maximum resistance varies by size, ranging from 1.227 Ω/km for the smallest size (Midge, 22 mm²) down to 0.03627 Ω/km for the largest size (Tarantula, 750 mm²).
What is the approximate breaking load of the Tarantula conductor?
The Tarantula conductor, with a nominal cross-sectional area of 750 mm², features the highest approximate breaking load in this table at 120.1 kN.
How does stranding configuration change with conductor size?
Smaller conductors typically use a 3-wire or 7-wire stranding (e.g., 3/3.35 for Aphis, 7/2.06 for Midge), while larger conductors utilize 19-wire or 37-wire configurations (e.g., 19/5.36 for Locust, 37/5.23 for Tarantula).
What is the approximate mass per kilometre for the Type 8 covered Midge conductor?
The Type 8 covered Midge conductor has an approximate mass of 100 kg/km, which is the lightest option in this product series.
