Quadruplex Service Drop Aluminum Conductors AAAC 6201 Alloy Neutral-Messenger
Quadruplex Service Drop Aluminum Conductor
Applications
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 潞C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90 潞C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
Construction
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or XLP crosslinked polyethylene. Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201 alloy. One conductor is manufactured with an extruded ridge for phase identification.
Standards
Designated sizes are : ACSR 6/1 diameter equivalent and AAC with equivalent resistivity per ASTMB-399 for 6201.Conductor temperature of 90 潞C for XLR 75 潞C for Poly; ambient temperatures of 40 潞C emissivity 0.9; 2ft./sec/wind in sun. To determine current ampacity by conductor size, please consult The National Electric Code, latest edition.
