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.
