ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½

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).

Standards

• ASTM B230 – Aluminum 1350–H19 ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ for Electrical Purposes
• ASTM B231 – Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors
• ASTM B232 – Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
• ASTM B498 – Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors
• CSA C60888 – Zinc-coated steel wires for stranded conductors
• CSA C60889 – Hard-drawn aluminum wire for overhead line conductors
• CSA C61089 – Round wire concentric lay overhead electrical stranded conductors
• ASTM D1248 – Polyethylene Plastics Extrusion Materials for ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ and Cable

Notes

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.
