Return to: E10 - CIGRE/IEC International Activities
The IEC Technical Committee 20, WG 19, Conductors, is working on a project to include the AWG sizes, along with metric sizes, in the IEC 60228 Standard for Conductors. Stage 1 of the project is complete, and that is to produce a Technical Report, IEC/TR 62602 , "Conductors of Insulated Cables-Data for AWG and kcmil sizes." This report defines the range of AWG/kcmil sizes that are to be considered in the harmonization process. This document is now in the voting process, and the members of the US TAG must provide their input by March 09, 2009. The members of the ICC are encouraged to provide their input to Ken Bow, IEC-ICC liaison. (Email: k.bow@ieee.org, Phone:989-695-4659). The topic was discussed at the Fall 2008 E10D meeting, and a copy of the presentation presented on this topic is attached to the IEC-CIGRE portion of the ICC website. Please review the presentation for the range of conductor sizes currently included and provide Ken with any additional sizes that should be included for completeness. Again, the deadline for input on this standard is March 09, 2009.
Also, see report from Ken Bow on this subject.
