Duplex Service Drop Cable

Duplex Service Drop Aluminum Conductor is a type of electrical cable that is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to supply power from the utility company's power lines to the consumer's meter base.

Description

1.Application Of Duplex Service Drop Cable

Duplex overhead service drop cable is primarily used to deliver electrical power from an overhead power distribution system to residential buildings. Here are some common applications of duplex overhead service drop cable:

Residential power supply:

Duplex overhead service drop cable is commonly used to supply power to residential homes in urban and suburban areas. The cable is installed between the utility pole and the weatherhead or meter base on the building, providing a safe and reliable connection to the electrical grid.

Temporary power supply:

Duplex overhead service drop cable can be used to provide temporary power to construction sites or outdoor events. The cable is installed between a temporary power source and the location where power is needed, providing a temporary power supply until a permanent solution can be installed.

Low-voltage lighting:

Duplex overhead service drop cable can be used to supply power to low-voltage lighting systems in residential and commercial areas. The cable is installed between the transformer and the lighting fixtures, providing a safe and efficient power source for lighting.

2.Construction Of Duplex Service Drop Cable

Stranding the Conductors:

The first step in constructing duplex service drop aluminum conductor is stranding the individual conductors together. The conductors are twisted together to form a stranded cable, which is stronger and more flexible than a single solid conductor.

Insulation:

Each of the individual conductors in the cable is then insulated to prevent electrical leakage and ensure safety. The insulation is typically made of a material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).

3.Standards Of Duplex Service Drop Cable

ASTM B-230,B-231,B-232 and B-399

ICEA S-76-474

NOTE:Designated Sizes are ACSR 6/1 Diameter Equivalent Resistivity Per ASTM-B-399 for 6201.

Conductor temperature of 75oC;ambient temperatures of 40 oC;emissivity 0.9;2ft/sec.wind in sun.Packaging:Available in 500ft coils and in long lengths on reels.

The data is approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.

To determine current ampacity by conductor size,please consult The National Electric Code,latest edition.
