APPLICATIONS:
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:
The conductors are 1350-H19 Aluminum Wire ,6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded and covered for weather proofing with polyethylene, high density polyethylene(HDPE) or cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE).
Duplex Service Drop---Aluminum Conductor
APPLICATIONS:
Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service for construction. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors.
CONSTRUCTION:
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or cross-linked
polyethylene (XLPE).
Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR.
Triplex Service Drop---Aluminum Conductor
APPLICATIONS:
Used to supply power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user's service head where connection to the service entrance
cable is made. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors.
CONSTRUCTION:
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR.
Quadruplex Service Drop---Aluminum Conductor
APPLICATIONS:
Used to supply 3-phase power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user's service head where connection to the service entrance cable is made. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors.
CONSTRUCTION:
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR. Conductors are manufactured with ridges for phase identification (one conductor one ridge, one conductor two ridges, one conductor plain.)
