Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are solid or stranded compressed aluminum
Covering:Black Polyethylene (PE)

Applications and Features:

Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 or 6201 concentrically stranded. Covered with Black Polyethylene (PE). Used primarily for, but not limited to, overhead secondary distribution lines. Installed on insulators, otherwise treated as a bare conductor. Black Polyethylene (PE) covered line wires have the below temperature ratings:

Normal Service temperature of 75ºC

Emergency Overload of 95ºC

Short Circuit temperature of 150ºC

Specifications:
