Service Drop Quadruplex
Quadruplex Overhead Aluminum Conductor (Service Drop).
Applications
Where it is used
- Used to supply 3 phase power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user’s service head where connection to the service entrance cable is made. To be used at voltages of 600 volts or less phase to phase and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for cross-linked-polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
Construction
What it's built from
- Construction
- Concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) or polyethylene (PE) insulation, concentrically stranded AAC, ACSR or 6201 alloy bare neutral messenger.
- Options
- Ridged Phase ID
