Question

A stranded conductor is expressed as 19/1 where the first number corresponds to ........ and the second number corresponds to ........

• A. Number of strands, radius of each strand
• B. Number of strands, diameter of each strand
• C. SWG of each strand, radius of each strand
• D. SWG of each strand, diameter of each strand

Hint:

In stranded conductors, "A/B" means A strands of B diameter each.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A notation like 19/1 means the conductor is made of 19 strands, each having a diameter of 1 unit (commonly mm or a standard size). This standard format is used to describe stranded conductors.
