ICEA Standard Duplex/Triplex/Quadruplex Service Drop Cable
Service drop cable is the final portion of the electrical distribution system that delivers electricity from the utility company’s overhead power lines to the customer’s premises.
IECA or according to your requirement.
Construction
- Phase Conductor
- Class 2 Circular compacted stranded Aluminium
- Neutral Conductor
- Class 2 Circular compacted stranded Aluminium
- Insulation
- XLPE (Cross-linked polyethylene) UV Resistant
Application
The primary application of service drop cable is to deliver electrical power from the utility’s distribution lines to the customer’s premises.
It typically consists of three conductors: two insulated conductors for delivering the live power lines, and one bare conductor for grounding purposes.
The conductors are usually made of aluminum, although copper conductors can also be used.
Feature
They offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, easy maintenance and accessibility, quick installation, durability, flexibility, visual inspections, and scalability.
Duplex Service Drop Cable
- Description: One concentric-lay-stranded all aluminum conductor covered with HMW polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene twisted together with one bare either AAC, ACSR, or AAAC concentric lay stranded neutral.
- Application: Used in the overhead distribution of power from pole to building weatherhead.
- Specification Data:
- 1. ASTM B-230: Aluminum 1350-H19 wire for electrical purposes
- 2. ASTM B-231: Concentric-lay-stranded aluminum 1350 conductors
- 3. ASTM B-232: Concentric-lay-strande aluminum conductors, coated-steel reinforced (ACSR)
- 4. ASTM C-8.35: Specifications for weather-resistant polyethylene-covered wire and cable
