Covered Line Wire, ACSR/AAC/AAAC, XLPE or PE Insulated, Aluminum

CONDUCTOR: Single Conductor compressed or concentric HD aluminum, aluminum alloy, or ACSR

COVERING: Black, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

black extruded Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE)

Black Polyethylene (PE)

Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE)

High-Density Cross-linked Polyethylene (HDXLPE)

Overview

Applications

Covered Line Wire is used primarily for overhead secondary distribution lines. It is not an electrically insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed.


Construction

Conductors are aluminum alloy 1350-H19, 6201-181, or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded and covered for weather proofing with polyethylene(PE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) or crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE).


Standards

ASTM B-230 – Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes.

ASTM B-231 – Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced (ACSR).

ASTM B-1248 – Polyethylene Plastics Molding and Extrusion Materials.

ASTM C-8.35 – Specifications for Weather-Resistant Polyethylene-Covered Wire and Cable.

ICEAS-61-402

ANSI/ICEA S-70-547 Weather Resistant Polyethylene Covers Conductors

NEMA PUB NO. WC 5-1973 – Standards Publication Thermoplastic insulated Wire and Cable for the transmission and distribution of Electrical Energy.
