SPEC 83231

NS75 CSA Triplex LLDPE Service Drop. ACSR Neutral - Messenger

Aluminum Conductors With Linear Low Density Polyethylene Insulation.

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compact 1350-H19 aluminum
  2. Insulation:Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
  3. Messenger:ACSR Neutral

Applications and Features:

Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service for construction. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for low density polyethylene (LLDPE) insulated conductors.

Specifications:

    Notes:
    1. DC resistances include a 1% length factor for plexing.
    2. Inductive reactance assumes the neutral is carrying current.
    3. Phase conductors assumed to be reverse lay stranded, compressed construction.
    4. Phase spacing assumes cables are touching.
    5. Resistances shown are for the phase conductor only.
    6. Ampacity based on conductor temperature of 75°; ambient temperature of 40°C; emissivity 0.9; 2 ft./sec. wind in sun.
