-	The names of the keys {{tag|wires}} and {{tag|cables}} may have been chosen a little bit unfortunate. The more common term for "wire" is ''sub-conductor'' ([http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=466-10-21 IEV ref 466-10-21]) of a ''conductor bundle'' ([http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=466-10-20 IEV ref 466-10-20]). A ''single conductor'' ([http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&ievref=466-10-19 IEV ref 466-10-19]) corresponds to {{tag|wires||single}}. Similarly {{tag|wires||double}}, {{tag|wires||triple}} and {{tag|wires||quad}} correspond to ''twin'', ''triple'' and ''quad bundle'', respectively.
