Standard Overview
EN 50182 specifies requirements for stranded conductors used in overhead electrical lines. It defines the construction, dimensions, mechanical properties, and electrical characteristics of aluminum and aluminum alloy conductors.
The standard is widely applied to overhead power transmission and distribution networks, including AAC, AAAC, and ACSR conductors.
Key Requirements
Round wire concentric stranded conductors
Aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum-steel composite conductors
Defined conductor dimensions, resistance, and mechanical properties
Suitable for overhead line applications
Applications
Used in overhead transmission lines, distribution networks, and utility infrastructure projects.
