Weather-proof line wire is a versatile solution designed for overhead transmission and distribution lines. It offers mechanical protection for conductors and is resistant to weather and chemicals. This protective covering can effectively withstand high winds, falling tree limbs, and other disturbances, preventing short circuits and keeping conductors from welding together. Its reliability instills confidence in its ability to handle unexpected situations.

Tree wire is a versatile solution designed for areas with overhead power lines that may come into contact with trees or debris. Its wide range of applications, along with a durable covering that protects against electrical faults caused by such contact, makes it an ideal choice for various scenarios. 

Tree wire consists of a single conductor, which can be made from Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAC), All Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC), or Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR). The conductor is covered with one of the following options: a single layer of thermoset, track-resistant material; a two-layer thermoset covering with a track-resistant outer layer; or a three-layer thermoset covering that includes both a track-resistant outer layer and a thermoset semi-conductive conductor shield. These designs, when used as spacer cables with the appropriate accessories, further enhance the versatility of tree wire.
