Download PDF Download Excel Table

Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum
Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
Messenger:ACSR 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.

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)

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 90°; ambient temperature of 40°C; emissivity 0.9; 2 ft./sec. wind in sun.
