FOREWORD
type 1, when the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an
International Standard, despite repeated efforts;
type 2, when the subject is still under technical development or where for any
other reason there is the future but not immediate possibility of an agreement on an
International Standard;
type 3, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard, for example "state of the a rt".
Technical reports of types 1 and 2 are subject to review within three years of publication to
decide whether they can be transformed into International Standards. Technical repo rt s of
type 3 do not necessarily have to be reviewed until the data they provide are considered
to be no longer valid or useful.
IEC 1597, which is a technical repo rt of type 3, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 7: Overhead electrical conductors.

7(SEC)466 7(SEC)471
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical repo rt can be found in the
repo rt on voting indicated in the above table.
This technical repo rt is an informative companion to IEC 1089: Round wire concentric lay
overhead electrical conductors.
Various conductor properties and calculation methods are given in this document. These
are normally found in a number of references, but rarely condensed in a single document.
It is noted that all definitions given in IEC 1089 apply equally to this document.
1 Scope
This document provides information with regard to conductors specified in IEC 1089. Such
information includes properties of conductors and useful methods of calculation.
It is noted that this document does not discuss all theories and available methods for
calculating conductor properties, but provides users with simple methods that provide
acceptable accuracies.
