Covered Line ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ ACSR Aluminum Conductor
Covered AL Line ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ Weatherproof
Applications
Covered Line ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ is used primarily for overhead secondary distribution lines. It is not an electrically insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed.
Construction
Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires concentrically stranded over a steel wire core. The steel wire core is Class A Zinc coated (Code GA2). The conductor is covered with linear-low density polyethylene (LLDPE).

1) Dimensions and weights are subject to standard manufacturing tolerances and are subject to change without notice.
2) Resistance is calculated using metal conductivity of 61.2% IACS for EC (1350) at 20ºC and 8% IACS for steel at 20ºC.
3) Ampacities are based on 75ºC conductor temperature, 25ºC ambient, 2 ft/s wind, full sun, an emissivity of 0.91 and a coefficient of solar absorption of 0.91, at sea level. Thermal resistivity of covering is 375ºC-cm/Watt.
