SPEC 83301

Duplex Copper XLPE Service Drop Neutral - Messenger

Copper Conductors With Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulation.

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compressed copper
  2. Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
  3. Messenger:Hard Drawn Copper

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 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
