Covered Line wire-aluminum conductor
1.Application
Covered Line wire is used primarily for 600v overhead secondary distribution lines. It is not an electrically insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed.
2.Construction
Conductors 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.Standards
ASTM B-230, B231,B232, and B-399.
ICEA S-61-402 and S-66-524
4.Note
The code words 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℃ conductor temperature; 25℃ 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 edition.
