BS 7884 : 1997
Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee NFE/34/2. This
revision supersedes BS 125 : 1970 and BS 2755 : 1970, which are withdrawn.
Copper and copper alloy conductors for overhead electric traction are also dealt with
in BS 23.
In this revision due regard has been given to the work of the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) when reviewing the testing requirements, properties and
physical dimensions of conductors. Where applicable, if possible, the requirements of
this British Standard have been aligned with those of corresponding International
Standards. However, it has been necessary to go outside ISO dimensions to specify
conductors that are suitable for use with fittings currently in use.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

NOTE 1. Resistance values are calculated from a resistivity of 0.017 77 mV´m at 20 ÊC. This is equivalent to a conductivity of 97 % IACS.
Maximum values of resistance are calculated from minimum diameters.
NOTE 2. Minimum breaking loads for nominal diameters up to and including 4 mm are based on the minimum diameter of conductor
and a tensile strength of 415 N/mm2 and for nominal diameters greater than 4 mm they are based on the minimum diameter of
conductor and a tensile strength of 400 N/mm2.
NOTE 3. Nominal mass per unit length has been calculated using a density of 8890 kg/m3.

multiplied by a factor of 0.92 for three and seven wire strands and 0.90 for nineteen and thirty-seven wire strands.
NOTE 3. Nominal mass per unit length has been calculated using a density of 8945 kg/m3and therefore the values apply only to

NOTE 1. The primary purpose of this table is to enable a resistance measured at a temperature other than 20 ÊC to be converted to the
resistance at 20 ÊC in order to determine whether the conductor under test conforms to this standard. Given the resistance at T ÊC, the
resistance at 20 ÊC is found by multiplying the resistance at T ÊC by the constant for T ÊC given in column 2. Conversely, given the
resistance at 20 ÊC, the corresponding resistance at T ÊC is found by multiplying the resistance at 20 ÊC by the reciprocal for T ÊC given
in column 3. For this purpose the factors have been given at intervals of 0.5 ÊC from 5 ÊC to 35 ÊC, and the error in using the table
between these limits does not exceed 0.06 % for copper within the range of conductivity 96 % to 98 % IACS.
NOTE 2. The temperature coefficient of resistance of copper varies slightly from sample to sample according to its exact conductivity.
The figures given are based on a value of the temperature coefficient of resistance of 0.003 81 per degree Celsius, which is an average
value for copper of 97 % IACS conductivity.
