[pdf] [/pdf] [short] 8 AWG Solid Tinned Bare Copper Conductor Soft Drawn Wire Other Names For 8 solid tinned bare copper: 8 solid tinned bare copper wire, 8 solid tinned bare electrical wire, 8 solid tinned bare copper cable, 8 overhead tinned copper cable, 8 overhead tinned copper conductor Applications: Tinned Bare Copper Wire is an electrical wire suitable for overhead distribution circuits or grounding conductors. It is also used in hookers and jumpers that do not have an insulation. The layer of tin provides an improved resistance to corrosion and difficult environmental conditions. Bare conductors of this electrical wire exhibit superior conductivity compared to insulated versions. Construction: Conductor: Tinned Bare Copper Wire has a tinned copper conductor per ASTM B-1, B-2 and B-3. The conductor is available in hard, medium-hard, and soft-drawn combination unilay temper. Some of the advantages of copper in cables include conductivity, tensile strength, and the properties of the tensile expansion. Insulation: Uninsulated Jacket: Unjacketed Standards: ASTM B-1, B-2, B-3 National Electric Code (NEC) CSA UL listed Federal Spec QQ-W-333 NEC Listed Specifications: Size AWG: 8 Number of Strands: Solid Weight lb/1000FT: 49.98 lbs Compatible with Manufacturer Service Wire Co : BSOS8 Omni Cable Q20801 [/short] Application: For use on insulators for overhead distribution circuits or grounding conductors Description: Soft, Medium Hard, Hard uncoated copper wire Specifications: Specification references standards applicable to solid and stranded uncoated and uninsulated copper wire Standards: ASTM B-1 Hard Drawn ASTM B-2 Medium Hard Drawn ASTM B-3 Soft or Annealed ASTM B-8 Concentric lay stranded conductors Federal Spec QQ-W-343 Uninsulated Conductor: Solid conductors and individual stranded conductors shall meet the requirements of ASTM B-3, ASTM B-2, or ASTM B-1 & stranded conductors meet the requirements of ASTM B-8
