ACSR Covered with Black Crosslinked Polyethylene

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Stranded compressed aluminum steel reinforced ACSR
  2. Insulation:Black Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE)

Applications and Features:

Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 concentrically stranded steel reinforced ACSR. Covered with crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). Used primarily for, but not limited to, overhead secondary distribution lines. Installed on insulators, otherwise treated as a bare conductor. Crosslinked covered line wires have the below temperature ratings:

  • Normal Service temperature of 90ºC
  • Emergency Overload of 130ºC
  • Short Circuit temperature of 250ºC
  • Specifications:

  • ASTM B232 Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
  • ICEA S-70-547 Weather Resistant Polyethylene Covers Conductors
