PowrServ® OH Quadruplex Service Drop Cable Neutral-Supported (US)
Product Construction
Overhead (OH) quadruplex service drop cable consists of three aluminum conductors insulated with extruded, lead-free, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). These conductors are twisted around a bare conductor that serves as a supporting neutral. This service drop cable complies with the ANSI/ICEA S-76-474 standard.
Insulated Conductors: The all-aluminum stranded conductors can be Class A, Class B, or SIW compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Solid conductors are of H16 temper.
Insulation: The insulation is black, extruded, lead-free cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
Bare Neutral: The all-aluminum stranded conductors are made from Class AA or Class A 1350-H19 (AAC) or the 6201-T81 alloy (AAAC). The aluminum conductor, steel-reinforced (ACSR) is classified as Class AA. The outer layer has a right-handed lay.
Phase Identification: Phase identification is indicated with white print legend markings on one phase conductor, one rib on another phase conductor, and two ribs on the third phase conductor.
Features and Benefits
The insulated conductors of the service drop cable are resistant to weathering, sunlight, abrasion, tearing, cutting, and chemicals. This cable is rated for 600 volts, with a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C for the cross-linked polyethylene insulation.
Applications
Quadruplex service drop cable is designed to deliver a 4-wire three-phase power supply from the secondary power line or a pole-mounted transformer to the service-entrance conductors at the user’s building or other structures. It may also be used as a pole line secondary with service splices at the pole or mid-span.
