Snake Stripe is fully vulcanized into the Extra Heavy Duty CPE outer jacket during the lead curing process, creating an extremely visible and durable reflective stripe that runs down the entire length of the cable, providing the following benefits:- Improved cable visibility in low-light and high-traffic environments, enhancing overall mine and personnel safety- Extended cable life through reduction of cable damage due to equipment “run overs”- Reduced production downtime due to cable damage issues • Improved cable identification for tracking of critical circuit cables- Highly resistant to common mining cable operating conditions such as abrasion, cut, tear, oil, and chemical and water exposure

Duplex NS75/NS90 Service Drop Cable is intended to deliver single phase power from the secondary overhead power line or polemounted transformer to the service entrance conductors at the user’s building or other structure. NS75/NS90 cable may also be used as pole line secondary with service splices at the pole (also refer to CEC rule 12-318). NS75/NS90 cable is rated for use on systems having nominal voltages of 600 V or less.

TransPowr® ACCC®/TW is an aluminum conductor composite core trapezoidal concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape and enable a more compact placement of the aluminum strand wires. ACCC/TW conductors are designed to maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round wire ACSR. The compact trapezoidal conductors, coupled with a smaller composite core, result in a TW conductor that has approximately 28% more aluminum cross-sectional area than ACSR. The design features follow the applicable requirements of ASTM B857 (Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Supported (ACSS/TW)). The annealed aluminum strand wires are in accordance to ASTM B609. The composite core strength member is a proprietary high-strength carbon and glass fiber composite core in accordance to ASTM B987, around which are stranded two, three or four layers of the annealed 1350 aluminum wires.

Smooth Body bare all-aluminum 1350 (A1 or ASC) are compact concentric-lay-stranded conductors consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helically around a straight round central wire. Smooth Body conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest applicable issue of CSA C49.5. A1 or ASC (Aluminum Stranded Conductor) are CSA reference terms. The Canadian constructions are similar in design (strand component size and configuration) to the ASTM B400 specification. Differences lie in the methods used to calculate the rated strength and dc resistance values. The commonly used strandings are 7, 18, and 19. The sizes and strandings listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. Metric (mm2) sizes are also available.

USEB-90 Underground Service Entrance Cable consists of two compact aluminum conductors individually insulated with RW90 XLPE insulation, laid in parallel, with a helical plain copper wire serving and an overall PVC jacket covering. The copper wire serving is the neutral. The product is CSA Certified and meets the USEB-90 cable requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 52.

Quadruplex NS75/NS90 Service Drop Cable is intended to deliver three phase power from the secondary overhead power line or pole-mounted transformers to the service entrance conductors at the user’s building or other structure. NS75/NS90 cable may also be used as pole line secondary with service splices at the pole (also refer to CEC rule 12-318). NS75/NS90 cable is rated for use on systems having nominal voltages of 600 V or less.

TransPowr® ACSR/TW is a trapezoidal aluminum conductor steel-reinforced concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands are trapezoidal in shape. The wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable a more compact alignment of the aluminum wires. Conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil crosssectional area of aluminum as a conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter. Conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in. The ACSR/TW conductors are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of ASTM B779. The steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, three or four layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The steel core may consist of a concentric stranded cable of 7, 19 or more wires. Numerous combinations of aluminum and steel strands and layers are possible. The sizes and constructions listed on the following pages are common examples used in overhead lines. For ACSR/TW conductors, the standard Class A galvanized coating is usually adequate for ordinary environments.

Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) Copper Clad Steel (CCS) conductors are concentric-lay-stranded. The CCS strands are a 40% conductivity grade previously referred to as Grade 40A. The wire is manufactured using a low carbon steel core, rendering greater flexibility to enable easier handling during installation. The direction of lay for the outer layer is left-hand. The direction of lay of each successive layer is reversed. DSA CCS grounding conductors are manufactured in accordance with ASTM B910, B258 and B228, as applicable.
