Abstract
THE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION of aluminum conductors for urban overhead power systems during the last 10 years has created a demand for a homogeneous aluminum-alloy cable having better sag characteristics than one made of EC (electrical grade) aluminum. With 5005 aluminum alloy, cables have been developed which meet this demand. In addition, since 5005 is a nonheat-treatable alloy, wires can be produced on conventional equipment and manufacturing costs are low.
