PowrServ® OH Triplex Service Drop Cable Neutral-Supported (US)
Product Construction
Overhead (OH) Triplex Service Drop Cable consists of two 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 requirements specified in ANSI/ICEA S-76-474.
Insulated Conductors: The all-aluminum stranded conductors fall under Class A, Class B, or SIW compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Solid conductors use H16 temper aluminum.
Insulation: The insulation is black, extruded, lead-free Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE).
Bare Neutral: The bare neutral conductor is made of all-aluminum stranded conductors classified as 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, and the direction of the lay for the outer layer is right-hand.
Phase Identification: Phase identification is provided by white-printed legend markings on one 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 and has a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C for cross-linked polyethylene insulation.
Applications
The triplex service drop cable is designed to deliver 3-wire, single-phase power from a secondary power line or a pole-mounted transformer to the service-entrance conductors of a building or other structure. It can also be used as a pole line secondary with service splices at the pole or in mid-span.
