Conductor FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN SELECTION OF CONDUCTOR:
Materials
Types
Factors to consider
Physical Mechanical Electrical
o Conductor diameter o Weight per unit length o Conductivity of material(s) o Cross sectional area(s) o Modulus of elasticity o Rated breaking strength o Coefficient of thermal expansion o Cost of material o Maximum unloaded design tension o Resistance to vibration o Surface shape of drag coefficient o Fatigue resistance
Design
These necessarily are NOT independent to one another.
