Description
This dataset describes the process of stranding 1 kg of copper wire into stranded conductor, resulting in 0.995 kg of conductor. This dataset should be used together with 1 kg of copper wire. The data originates from various cable manufacturing processes. The dataset includes energy consumption and waste from the stranding process, while infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and factory construction is excluded from the system boundaries of this dataset.
Activity Description
This activity describes the stranding of copper wire in the conductor production process.
Process Description
This dataset represents the stranding process (bunching) of copper wires during wire manufacturing. Stranding involves twisting two or more individual wires together in a predetermined direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to enhance the flexibility and integrity of electrical wires and cables, facilitating installation and laying. To reduce the space occupied by the conductor and minimize the overall cable dimensions, compacting is applied during stranding, transforming the conventional round configuration into semi-circular, sector-shaped, tile-shaped, or compact round forms.

Technology comment
Stranding involves combining two or more single wires twisted in a predetermined direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to enhance the flexibility and integrity of wires and cables, facilitating installation and laying. To reduce the space occupied by conductors and minimize cable's geometric dimensions, compacted forms are adopted during stranding, transforming the conventional round shape into semi-circular, sector-shaped, tile-shaped, or compacted circular configurations.
