Download PDF Download Excel Table

Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compact 1350-H19 aluminum
Messenger:ACSR Neutral
Insulation:Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

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 75°C for Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) insulated conductors.

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

ASTM B901 Standard Specification for Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors Using Single Input Wire Construction. (The number of strands for both phase and neutral may differ)

CSA 22.2 No. 129 Neutral Supported Cable

Table 2 – Electrical and Engineering Data

Phase Cond. Size	DC Resistance @ 25°C	AC Resistance @ 75°C	Inductive Reactance @ 60Hz	GMR	Allowable Ampacity In Air 75°C
AWG/Kcmil	Ω/1000ft	Ω/1000ft	Ω/1000ft	ft	Amp
4/0	0.0837	0.1146	0.0314	0.0157	224

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.
