Notes:
1. These resistance values are valid only for the parameters as given.
Using conductors having coated strands, different stranding type,
and, especially, other temperatures changes the resistance.
2. Equation for temperature change: $R_2 = R_1 [1 + \alpha (T_2—75)]$,
where $\alpha_{cu}$ = 0.00323, $\alpha_{AL}$ = 0.00330 at 75°C.
3. Conductors with compact and compressed stranding
have about 9 percent and 3 percent, respectively,
smaller bare conductor diameters than those shown.
See Table 5A for actual compact cable dimensions.
4. The IACS conductivities used: bare copper = 100%, aluminum = 61%.
5. Class B stranding is listed as well as solid for some sizes.
Its overall diameter and area are those of its circumscribing circle.

Notes:
1. These values are based on the following constants:
UL-Type RHH wires with Class B stranding, in cradled configuration.
Wire conductivities are 100 percent IACS copper
and 61 percent IACS aluminum,
and aluminum conduit is 45 percent IACS.
Capacitive reactance is ignored, since it is negligible at these voltages.
These resistance values are valid only at 75°C (167°F)
and for the parameters as given,
but are representative for 600-volt wire types operating at 60 Hz.
2. _Effective Z_ is defined as $R \cos(\theta) + X sin(\theta)$,
where $\theta$ is the power factor angle of the circuit.
Multiplying current by effective impedance
gives a good approximation for line-to-neutral voltage drop.
Effective impedance values shown in this table
are valid only at 0.85 power factor.
For another circuit power factor (PF),
effective impedance ($Z_{e}$) can be calculated
from $R$ and $X_{L}$ values given in this table as follows:
$Z_{e} = R \times \rm{PF} + X_{L} \sin[\arccos(\rm{PF})]$.

### Resistance
NEC Chapter 9 Tables [[nfpa-70_ch09#Table 8 Conductor Properties|8]]

provide resistance values for sizes and materials of wires,
stated in their notes to be based on calculations
found in [[nbs_1966_handbook-100]]
and [[nbs_1972_handbook-109]].
#### International Annealed Copper Standard
The same tables give conductor conductivity as a percent of
[International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Annealed_Copper_Standard),
viz. 100% for copper and 61% for aluminum.
The definition of the IACS,
as originally published in [[nbs_1914_circular-031]] is
$$
100\%\ \rm{IACS} \equiv 0.15328~\text{ohm (meter, gram) at 20°C},
$$
alternately denoted in [[nbs_1966_handbook-100]] as
$$
0.15328~\text{ohm-gram/meter$^2$ at 20°C}.
$$
These definitions are for **mass resistivity**.
**Volume resistivity** can be derived
using the density of copper at the same temperature,
$$
8.89~\text{gram/cm$^3$ at 20°C},
$$
or
$$
0.32117~\text{lb/in.$^3$ at 20°C}.
$$
The derived value of volume resistivity given by [[nbs_1966_handbook-100]] is
$$
0.017241~\text{ohm-mm$^2$/meter at 20°C}.
$$
equal to 58 S/mm at 20°C.

## Resistivity and Conductivity
In [[2026-04-14_15-50-06]] I described the relationship
between the resistance and conductance...
[**Resistance** and **conductance**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and_conductance)
are properties of electrical "objects" or "elements".
[**Resistivity** and **conductivity**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity) are properties of **materials**.[^1]
[^1]: It would be more accurate to describe this relationship
in terms of [intensive and extensive properties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive_properties).
The resistance and conductance of a copper bar
would not change if the cube doubled in size,
but its resistivity and conductivity
> Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho).
> The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m).
> Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance)
> is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity.
> It represents a material's ability to conduct electric current.
> It is commonly signified by the Greek letter σ (sigma),
> but κ (kappa) (especially in electrical engineering) and γ (gamma)
> are sometimes used.
> The SI unit of electrical conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m).
The meaning of these units are not intuitive,
but are better understood from the ideal case
diagrammed below:
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Resistivity_geometry.png)
The **resistance** of the conductor
is directly proportional to its length $\ell$,
and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area $A$.
$$
R \propto {\frac{\ell}{A}}
$$
Let electrical resistivity $\rho$ be the constant of proportionality.
$$
R = \rho \frac{\ell}{A}
$$
(This equation is known as **Pouillet's law**,
after [Claude Pouillet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Pouillet))
$$
\Leftrightarrow \rho = R \frac{A}{\ell},
$$
where
* $R$ is the electrical resistance of a uniform specimen of the material
* $\ell$ is the length of the specimen
* $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the specimen
The meaning of the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m) in this context is difficult to grok.
Wikipedia describes it thus:
> ...ohms multiplied by square meters (for the cross-sectional area)
> then divided by meters (for the length).
%%
The **conductance** of the conductor
is _inversely_ proportional to its length $\ell$,
and _directly_ proportional to its cross-sectional area $A$.
$$
G \propto {\frac{A}{\ell}}
$$
Let electrical conductivity $\sigma$ be the constant of proportionality.
$$
\begin{aligned}
R &= \sigma \frac{A}{\ell} \\
\Leftrightarrow \sigma &= G \frac{\ell}{A},
\end{aligned}
$$
where
* $G$ is the electrical resistance of a uniform specimen of the material
* $\ell$ is the length of the specimen
* $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the specimen
%%
Conductivity, $\sigma$, is the inverse of resistivity:
$$
\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho}
$$
