a) The direction of lay of the strands, members, or ropes in a 13.3 – 1010 mm 2 (6 AWG – 2000kcmil) conductor other than a combination unilay or a compressed unilay or compressedunidirectional lay conductor shall be reversed in successive layers. Rope-lay conductors withbunch-stranded or concentric-stranded members shall be either unidirectional or reversed. Allunidirectional lays and the outer layer of reversed lays shall be in the left-hand direction.b) For a bunch-stranded member of a rope-lay-stranded conductor in which the members areformed into rope-stranded components that are then cabled into the final conductor, the lengthof lay of the individual members within each component shall not be more than 30 times theoutside diameter of one of those members.c) For a concentric-stranded member of a rope-lay-stranded conductor, the length of lay of theindividual strands in a member shall be 8 – 16 times the outside diameter of the member. Thedirection of lay of the strands in each member shall be reversed in successive layers of themember.
