Annealing curves for small copper conductors

Annealing curves for small copper conductors

Annealing curves for small copper conductors

(OP)
I'm looking for an annealing curve for a small copper conductor, like #4.  Do you know where I can find one?

I've looked at the Southwire Overhead Conductor Manual and found they have curves for ACSR and Aluminum conductors, but none for copper.

Since these are are just plots of I-squared t for a given conductor size, as an alternative can someone provide an I-squared t value for a few small copper conductors?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Annealing curves for small copper conductors

Is this related to the cable damage curves found in IEEE 242 and any coordination study software? If so, I can provide them.
