Application
The triplex cables are suitable for use as drop cable from a pole-mounted transformer, to the service entrance of a structure, or as secondary distribution between poles.
Property
The cables should be limited to the voltage of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors.
Specification
Standards:
B 230 Aluminum Wire1350-H 19 for Electrical Purpose
B 231 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-lay-stranded
B 232 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-lay-stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
B 399 Concentric-lay-stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductor
B 901 Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductor Using Single Input Wire
Triplex Service Drop Cable meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-76-474.
Construction
The phase conductors are concentrically stranded compressed 1350-H19 aluminum and insulated polyethylene or crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE). The neutral messengers are concentrically stranded AAC, ACSR, or 6201 aluminum alloy neutral messenger.
