Download PDF Download Excel Table

Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum
Messenger:ACSR Neutral
Insulation:Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

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) insulated conductors.

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.
