Table 1 Conductor and Stranding Data Copper
Stranded Conductors provide better flexibility and longer flex life. From a practical standpoint, stranded conductors offer longer service life than solid conductors. For a given size of a conductor, increasing the number of strands while reducing the size of the individual strands will increase the conductor flexibility.
