Aluminum Conductor Covered with Black Polyethylene (PE)

Download PDF

Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are solid or stranded compressed aluminum
Covering:Black Polyethylene (PE)

Applications and Features:

Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 or 6201 concentrically stranded. Covered with Black Polyethylene (PE). Used primarily for, but not limited to, overhead secondary distribution lines. Installed on insulators, otherwise treated as a bare conductor. Black Polyethylene (PE) covered line wires have the below temperature ratings:

Normal Service temperature of 75ºC

Emergency Overload of 95ºC

Short Circuit temperature of 150ºC

Specifications:

ASTM B230 Aluminum, 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes

ASTM B231 Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors

ASTM B400 Standard Specification for Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Aluminum 1350 Conductors

ICEA S-70-547 Weather Resistant Polyethylene Covers Conductors
