Conductor shapes

In power engineering, cables are manufactured with different conductor shapes depending on the intended use. The most common are round conductors, sector conductors, waveguides, rectangular or flat conductors, oval conductors, triangular conductors and concentric conductors. The abbreviations for the conductor shapes are as follows

:1. re = round, solid conductor.

. rm = round, stranded conductor.

. se = sector-shaped, solid conductor.

. sm = sector-shaped, stranded conductor. (All data without guarantee)
