NationalENDESA E-MT-003
Use / Applications
medium hard bare copper conductors are employed in medium voltage overhead lines up to 30 kV (36 kV higher voltage) according to the scope defined in the technical specification ENDESA E-MT-003.
Copper conductors are used in areas with very heavy pollution or strong saline pollution.
Construction: Bare conductor with concentric stranded wire class 2 formed by medium hard copper wires.
Ampacities of bare copper conductors
Current carrying capacity in open air at 40°C ambient temperature and the conductor at 80°C. Source: RIC N°4 Table 4.3.
