SPEC 83244
Quadruplex XLPE Service Drop. AAC Neutral - Messenger
Aluminum Conductors With Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulation.
Construction:
- Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
- Messenger:AAC Neutral
Applications and Features:
Used to supply power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user's service head where connection to the service entrance cable is made. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.

Table 1 – Weights and Measurements
| Code Word | Phase Cond. Size | Phase Strand | Dia. Over Phase Conductor | Phase Insul. Thickness | Dia. Over Phase Insulation | Neutral Cond. Size | Neutral Strand | Approx. OD | Approx. Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWG/Kcmil | No. | inch | mil | inch | AWG/Kcmil | No. | inch | lb/1000ft | |
| Clydesdale | 4 | Solid | 0.204 | 30 | 0.264 | 4 | 7 | 0.572 | 204 |
All dimensions are nominal and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances
1. The actual number of strands may differ for single input wire per ASTM B901
Table 2 – Electrical and Engineering Data
| Code Word | Phase Cond. Size | Neutral Rated Breaking Strength | DC Resistance @ 25°C | AC Resistance @ 75°C | Inductive Reactance @ 60Hz | GMR | Allowable Ampacity In Air 90°C |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWG/Kcmil | lb | Ω/1000ft | Ω/1000ft | Ω/1000ft | ft | Amp | |
| Clydesdale | 4 | 881 | 0.258 | 0.310 | 0.048 | 0.007 | 100 / 115 |
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. Sizes of AAAC neutrals are not the AAAC size, but are the size of an ACSR of equal diameter.
7. Ampacity based on conductor temperature of 90°; ambient temperature of 40°C; emissivity 0.9; 2 ft./sec. wind in sun.
