Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Australi an Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australia
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Overhead Lines to supersede
AS 1222.2 — 1973, Steel conductors and stays for overhead power transmission purposes, Part 2:
Aluminium clad (SC/AC), and it is the second part of a two-part series, viz.
AS 1222 — Steel conductors and stays — Bare overhead
Part 1: Galvanized (SC/GZ)
Part 2: Aluminium clad (SC/AC)
The Standard conforms generally with various International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
publications on overhead conductors and with IEC draft, document 7 (Central Office) 434.
In determining conductor sizes, a range of wire sizes has been provided similar to that for conductors
specified in the 1973 edition. Conductors with other dimensions can also be supplied by reference to this
Standard.
Wire sizes have not been changed from the previous edition but major modifications have been made in
the following areas:
(a) The provisions allowing joining of finished wires has been eliminated.

(b) The sampling rate of specimens for routine tests relies on a quality assurance plan.
(c) A new Appendix B covers the coefficient of linear expansion and the theoretical basis for the
calculation of modulus of elasticity.
(d) A new Appendix C has been included which highlights items to be specified by the purchaser or
agreed between purchaser and manufacturer at the time of order.

Australian Standard
Steel conductors and stays — Bare overhead
1.1 SCOPE This Standard specifies requirements and tests for bare electrical conductors for
overhead power transmission purposes, constructed from aluminium-clad steel wires, having a
minimum aluminium radial thickness of 5% of the nominal diameter of the wire. This corresponds
to IEC class ‘20SA’ type A of aluminium-clad steel wires.
For the purpose of this Standard, the term ‘conductor’ includes ‘stays’.
