15kV-25kV-35kV-46kV Aerial Bundled Spacer Cable Tree Wire
Application
Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where limited space is available or desirable for rights of way. Installed as an uninsulated conductor; however, covering is effective in
preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers should tree limbs or other objects contact conductors in such close proximity. Installed with other Covered Aerial MV cables and a supporting
messenger through a series of space-maintaining devices (spacers). The resulting close-proximity configuration minimizes the amount of space and hardware required for line installation; particularly useful in congested areas such as alleyways or tight corridors.
Specifications

• B-498 Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
Construction
All-aluminum (alloy 1350-H19, compressed) or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded. Available with high density (HD) polyethylene or crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) covering.
