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