scope:

This publication includes a listing of code words for Overhead Aluminum Covered Conductors and 600 Volt Overhead Cables covered by the ANSI/ICEA S-70-547 and S-76-474 Standards respectively. Also included is a procedure for registering new code words and the details of the designation system. Code words are a means of identifying different sizes and types of conductors and cables in catalogs, orders, invoices and other production and sales records. A system of suffixes for code words provides designations for variations in construction, temper, and type of covering or insulation. This publication builds upon a previously published Aluminum Association "Code Words for Overhead Aluminum Electrical Conductors" document.
