Overhead Aluminum Conductor ABC Aerial Bounded Cable

Application

covered line wire-aluminum conductor

1, Applications
Covered Line Wire is used primarily for 600V overhead secondary distribution lines, it’s not an electrically insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed

2, Construction
Conductors for covered line wire are aluminum alloy 1350-H19, 6201-T81, or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded and covered for weather proofing with polyethylene, high density polyethylene (HDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE)

3, Note
The code words for covered line wire as given apply to conventional polyethylene line wire
Available in 500ft coils or long lengths on reels, the data is approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances
For 6201 aluminum conductors diameter equivalent to ACSR construction or 1350 aluminum equivalent
Ampacity ratings based on 75 degree conductor temperature, 25 degree ambient temperature elevation sea level, emissivity 0.91 coefficient of absorption 0.95, wind speed 2ft/sec in sun
To determine current ampacity by conductor size, please consult the national electric code, latest deition

The basic construction is as follows:

3 power cores consisting of standard aluminium conductors, insulated withXLPE insulation
+ One sheath lighting aluminium conductor with XLPE insulation(optional)
+ One messenger Al-alloy conductor (bare or covered)
The messenger conductor can be of galvanised steel wire also.
The purpose of messenger wire is
A) It acts as load bearing wire.
B) It acts as earth or neutral conductor.
To be used at cotages of 600V phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75oC for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90oC for crossliked polyethylene(XLPE) insulated conductors.
