PowrServ® OH Duplex Service Drop Cable Neutral-Supported (US)

Product Construction

Overhead (OH) duplex service drop cable consists of one aluminum conductor insulated with extruded, lead-free Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), twisted around a bare conductor that serves as a supporting neutral. This service drop cable meets the requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-76-474.

Insulated Conductors: The all-aluminum stranded conductors are available in Class A, Class B, or SIW compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Solid conductors are made from H16 temper aluminum.

Insulation: The insulation is black, extruded, lead-free Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE). 

Bare Neutral: The all-aluminum stranded conductors can be made from Class AA or Class A 1350-H19 (AAC) or 6201-T81 alloy (AAAC). Additionally, the aluminum conductor, steel-reinforced (ACSR), is classified as Class AA. The direction of the lay of the outer layer is right-hand.

Phase Identification: Phase identification is indicated by white print legend markings on the phase conductor.

Features and Benefits

The insulated conductors in these service drop cables are resistant to weathering, sunlight, abrasion, tearing, cutting, and chemicals. This cable is rated for 600 V and has a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene insulation. 

Applications

Duplex service drop cable is designed to deliver single-phase power from the secondary of a power line or from a pole-mounted transformer to the service entrance conductors at a user's building or other structure. It can also be used as a pole line secondary with service splices at the pole or in mid-span.
