    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the characteristics of copper and copper alloy wires of cross sections of 80 mm[2], 100 mm[2], 107 mm[2], 120 mm[2] and 150 mm[2] for use on overhead contact lines.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the characteristics of copper and copper alloy wires of cross sections of 80mm 2, 100mm 2, 107mm 2, 120mm 2 and 150mm 2 for use on overhead contact lines.

    It establishes the product characteristics, the test methods, checking procedures to be used with the wires, together with the ordering and delivery condition.
