Covered Overhead Conductor — Line Wire (US)

Weatherproof line wire consists of single conductor covered with either Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) or Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE). Conductors may be compressed or concentric strand of ACSR, AAC or solid, compressed or concentric strand copper. Weatherproof line wire meets the requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-70-547. Conductors: Different conductor types are available. Solid or stranded MHD copper, compressed or concentric HD aluminum, aluminum alloy, or ACSR are all options that are available. The conductors meet the requirements of ASTM B3, ASTM B8, ASTM B231, ASTM B232, ASTM B400 or ASTM B496 as applicable. For aluminum and ACSR conductors, the direction of lay of the outer layer of the strand is right-hand. For copper conductors, the direction of lay of the outer layer of the strand is left-hand. For products manufactured with aluminum conductors, the product is available with conductor corrosion-resistant inhibitor treatment.
