Acceptance of resistance measurement for conductor strand by UL and ASTM as opposed to the traditional weight measurement has opened up potential manufacturing opportunities. This paper covers the parameters that affect resistance, the impact of compaction on the resistance of the conductor and the economic dynamics of compaction versus insulation savings for common North American products.
