1.1This specification covers bare concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from bare round copper-clad steel wires for general use for electrical purposes.

1.2For the purpose of this specification, conductors are classified as follows: Grade 40 HS, Grade 30 HS, Grade 30 EHS, Grade 40 DSA, and Grade 30 DSA.

The grades covered by this specification correspond to the following commercial designations:

Grade 40 HS,	High Strength, 40 % Conductivity, Hard Drawn
Grade 30 HS,	High Strength, 30 % Conductivity, Hard Drawn
Grade 30 EHS,	Extra High Strength, 30 % Conductivity, Hard Drawn
Grade 40 DSA,	40 % Conductivity, Dead Soft Annealed
Grade 30 DSA,	30 % Conductivity, Dead Soft Annealed

1.3The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
