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 or less phase to phase and at
conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors
or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
|
Construction
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated
with either polyethylene or XLP crosslinked polyethylene. Neutral messsengers
are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR. One conductor is manufactured
with an extruded ridge for phase identification.
