Specifications

Application:

    Covered Line Wire is used primarily for 600V overhead secondary distribution lines. It is not an electrically insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed.

 Construction:

    Constructors are aluminum alloy 1350-H19, 6201-T81, or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded and covered for weather proofing with polyethylene, high density polyethylene(HDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE).

Standards:

    ASTM B-230, B-231, B-232 and B-399

    ICEA S-61-402 and S-66-524

Note:

    The code words as given apply to conventional polyethylene line wire.

    Available in 500 ft coils or long lengths on reels. The data is approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.

    For 6201 aluminum conductors diameter equivalent to ACSR construction or 1350 aluminum equivalent.

    Ampacity rating based on 75°c conductor temperature; 25°c ambient temperature elevation sea level; Emissivity 0.91 coefficient of absorption 0.95; wind speed 2ft./sec. in sun.

    To determine current ampacity by conductor size, please consult The National Electric Code, lates.
