7.4.4.22.1 Semantic definition

An electrical conductor is a single linear element with the specific purpose to lead electric current. The core of one lead is normally single wired or multiwired which are intertwined. According to IEC 60050: IEV 195-01-07, a conductor is a conductive part intended to carry a specified electric current.

7.4.4.22.3 Properties

Name Property Type Data Type Description
CrossSectionalArea IfcPropertySingleValue IfcAreaMeasure

Cross section area of the phase(s) lead(s).

Function IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue PEnum_FunctionEnum

Type of function for which the conductor is intended.

ConductorMaterial IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue PEnum_MaterialEnum

Type of material from which the conductor is constructed.

Construction IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue PEnum_ConstructionEnum

Purpose of informing on how the vonductor is constructed (interwined or solid). I.e. Solid (IEV 461-01-06), stranded (IEV 461-01-07), solid-/finestranded(IEV 461-01-11) (not flexible/flexible).

ConductorShape IfcPropertyEnumeratedValue PEnum_ShapeEnum

Indication of the shape of the conductor.

NominalCurrent IfcPropertySingleValue IfcElectricCurrentMeasure

The nominal current that is designed to be measured.

ACResistance IfcPropertySingleValue IfcElectricResistanceMeasure

The resistance under AC.

ThermalExpansionCoefficient IfcPropertySingleValue IfcThermalExpansionCoefficientMeasure

A measure of the expansion coefficient for warming up the material about one Kelvin.

CurrentCarryingCapacity IfcPropertySingleValue IfcElectricCurrentMeasure

Maximum value of electric current which can be carried continuously by a conductor, a device or an apparatus, under specified conditions without its steady-state temperature exceeding a specified value. Based on IEC60826-11-13. NOTE: The temperature specified value is maximum Design Ambient Temperature.

UltimateTensileStrength IfcPropertySingleValue IfcForceMeasure

Indicates the maximum stress that a material or element can withstand before breaking while being stretched or pulled.

MassPerLength IfcPropertySingleValue IfcMassPerLengthMeasure

Mass per length, i.e. mass of a beam with a unit length of extrusion. For example measured in kg/m.

TensileStrength IfcPropertySingleValue IfcPressureMeasure

Indicates the ability to withstand breakage apart under applied force.

YoungModulus IfcPropertySingleValue IfcModulusOfElasticityMeasure

A measure of the Young's modulus of elasticity of the material.

DCResistance IfcPropertySingleValue IfcElectricResistanceMeasure

The resistance under direct current and 20 degrees centigrade.

OverallDiameter IfcPropertySingleValue IfcPositiveLengthMeasure

The overall diameter of a object.

NumberOfCores IfcPropertySingleValue IfcCountMeasure

The number of cores.

RatedVoltage IfcPropertyBoundedValue IfcElectricVoltageMeasure

The range of allowed voltage that a device is certified to handle. The upper bound of this value is the maximum.
