Bare 19 Stranded Wire
Bare 19 Stranded Wire
APPLICATION NOTES
Stranded conductor is normally used in electrical applications where some degree of flexing is encountered either in
installation or service. An application with a greater amount of expected service flexing should use a conductor with a
larger number of wires and smaller individual wire diameter to make up a given conductor size as compared to a lesser
flexing application.
Some of the stranded conductor types manufactured by Republic Wire, Inc. are:
CONCENTRIC: A conductor constructed with a central wire surrounded by one or more layers of helically laid wires.
ASTM standards provide for five classes of concentric strand:
Class AA is the coarsest stranding and Class D is the finest. Concentric conductors are available only in the specific numbers of wires
necessary to make up the construction in concentric layers. These numbers are 7, 19, 37, and 61. Larger wire counts are possible,
but are not in normal use and are not covered by these standards.
