(847) 376-9187 · (954) 526-8042·sales@electrocable.us

Application

To supply power from the utility's lines to the consumer's weatherhead. For service at 600 volts or less (phase to phase) at a conductor temperature of 75°C maximum for polyethylene insulation or 90°C maximum for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.

Product Features

Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or XLP crosslinked polyethylene. Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC or ACSR.

Standards

Service drop cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:

B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes
B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded, 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors
B-901 Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors Using Single Input Wire
