Temperature coefficient of resistance

Does anybody know if there is a list of temperature coefficient of resistance of different materials used in power cables? No matter free or commercial.
  • If you are talking electrical resistance: Table 1 of IEC 60287-1-1 gives electrical resistivities and temperature coefficients for metals commonly used in power cables.


    If you are talking thermal resistance: Table 1 of IEC 60287-2-1 gives typical thermal resistivities of common materials used in power cables.


    Another place worth looking is Kaye and Laby - which can be viewed online at www.kayelaby.npl.co.uk.
