EVS-EN IEC 60228:2024

This document specifies the nominal cross-sectional areas, in the range 0,5 mm2 to 3 500 mm2,
for conductors in electric power cables and cords of a wide range of types. Requirements for
numbers and sizes of wires and resistance values are also included. These conductors include
solid, stranded and Milliken, copper, aluminium and aluminium alloy conductors in cables for
fixed installations and flexible copper conductors.
This document does not apply to conductors for telecommunication purposes.
The applicability of this document to a particular type of cable is as specified in the standard
for the type of cable.
Unless specified otherwise in a particular clause, this document relates to the conductors in
the finished cable and not to the conductor as made or supplied for inclusion into a cable.
Conductors described in this document are specified in metric sizes.
Informative annexes provide supplementary information covering temperature correction
factors for resistance measurement (Annex B) and guidance on dimensional limits of circular
conductors (Annex C).
