Construction:

Conductor:Conductors are stranded, compact 1350-H19 aluminum
Insulation:Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Messenger:ACSR Neutral

Applications and Features:

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 90°C for linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulated conductors.

Specifications:

ASTM B230 Aluminum, 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes

Notes:
1. DC resistances include a 1% length factor for plexing.
2. Inductive reactance assumes the neutral is carrying current.
3. Phase conductors assumed to be reverse lay stranded, compressed construction.
4. Phase spacing assumes cables are touching.
5. Resistances shown are for the phase conductor only.
6. Ampacity based on conductor temperature of 90°; ambient temperature of 40°C; emissivity 0.9; 2 ft./sec. wind in sun.
