Covered Line Wire (ICEA S-70-547)

The conductors are stranded, circular compressed or uncompressed aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, ACSR or ACSR/AW etc., concentrically stranded and covered for Weather or UV resistant with thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) or Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) in black.

Application
This standard applies to the materials,constructions,and testing of weather-resistant thermoplastic and cross linked polyethylene covered conductors,rated for 75℃ or 90℃ normal service temperature.These conductors are intended primarily for the distribution of electrical energy under normal conditions of overhead(aerial)installations and service outdoors.

Construction
The conductors are stranded, circular compressed or uncompressed aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, ACSR or ACSR/AW etc., concentrically stranded and covered for Weather or UV resistant with thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) or Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) in black.
