PowrServ® OH Triplex Service Drop Cable Neutral-Supported (US)
The 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 through 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.
