Cross-Linked Polyethylene XLPE Insulated Triplex Service Drop Cable

Cross-linked Polyethylene XLPE Insulated Triplex Service Drop Cable

Applications of triplex service drop cable

Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service

for construction. To be used at voltages 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 (XLP) insulated conductors.

Specification of triplex service drop cable

service drop cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:

· B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.

· B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded.

· B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR).

· B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors.

· B-901 Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors Using Single Input Wire

Construction of triplex service drop cable

Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350 H-19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or 

crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR.
