Compressed 16-strand conductors are studied in the initial condition and after annealing at different voltages of the passed current. The effect of the heat treatment on the microstructure and on the physical and mechanical properties of the stranded wires is determined. The wires are tested for the ultimate strength, elongation and electrical resistance. The microstructure of the wires is studied by the EBSD technique.
