345 Mil TRXLP 35kV URD Cable PowerGuard™ Single conductor cable with filled strand aluminum conductors, triple extruded dry cured insulation system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength PowerGuard™ TRXLPE insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, copper concentric neutral wires, water blocking agents, black encapsulating linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) jacket. Design Parameters Conductor: Class B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231. Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound. Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation. Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S-94-649—100% insulation level. Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping. Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced. Water Block: Water-blocking agents applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires to resist longitudinal water penetration. Longitudinal water penetration shall be tested in accordance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirements are 15 psig for 1 hour. Jacket: Black insulating sunlight resistant linear low-density polyethylene encapsulating the neutral wires with three extruded red stripes and NESC lightning bolt symbol. Insulation Temperature Rating Normal.............................. 90°C Emergency*.................... 130°C Short Circuit.................... 250°C *Operation at the emergency overload temperature shall not exceed 1500 hours cumulative during the lifetime of the cable.

Copper-Clad Steel Wire Applications High Strength (HS) and Extra High Strength (EHS) copper-clad steel wire and strand combines the electrical characteristics of copper with the mechanical properties of high strength and extra high strength steel. This combination, often used as overhead ground wire and messenger wire, can resist mechanical damage during installation, as well as electrical damage during a fault condition. The heat process that bonds the thick copper to the exterior of the steel core ensures that the copper will not flake, crack, or peel when the wire is twisted, installed, or buried. Overhead Ground Wire The reliable, uninterrupted transmission of electrical power is vital to the electric utility industry. Power lines carrying large blocks of power must be permanently protected from lightening. Copperclad HS and EHS wire and strand provide a means of obtaining this protection. The combination of conductivity, corrosion resistance and high strength are the foundation of this protection. Guy Wire Copper-clad HS and EHS strand can be used as a corrosion resistant guying material for distribution and transmission lines. The thick cladding of copper on each wire protects the high strength steel core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength. Messenger Wire Copper-clad HS and EHS wire and strand can be used as a messenger wire. Copper-clad wire and strand provides the overhead support and electrification of a catenary system. High strength and conductivity make copper-clad wire and strand a good choice for this application.

Construction Alumo-clad steel wire and strand is used by power utilities as well as formed wire and optical ground wire manufacturers. alumo-clad steel wire outlasts other options by as much as 200% in corrosive environments, significantly lowering maintenance and replacement costs. When compared to solid aluminum wire, alumo-clad steel wire offers tremendous savings. Alumo-clad steel wire overhead ground wire has excellent corrosion resistance. Its strength and conductivity remain unchanged in any atmosphere where aluminum is satisfactory, especially those known to be corrosive from industrial or atmospheric conditions. This assurance against corrosion is obtained through the application of a thick covering of pure aluminum which provides a substantial barrier of protective metal. The minimum cladding thickness of Alumo-clad steel wire is 10% of the radius of the wire. the cladding has a continuous, strong metallic bond to the steel core that will not crack or flake. Alumo-clad steel wire also provides strength greater than or equal to other overhead ground wires. For commonly used wire sizes, the tensile strength of the individual wire can approach 200,000 pounds per square inch. When used in a strand for overhead ground wire, this high strength permits greater span lengths, less sag and heavier loads under storm loading conditions. Directly related to strength and sag performance is the lighter weight of alumo-clad steel wire. Due to its thick cladding of aluminum, alumo-clad steel wire is 15% lighter that a steel strand of equivalent size. This lighter weight, combined with high strength, permits alumo-clad steel wire to be installed to the same sags as steel with correspondingly lower tensions and tower stresses on the towers or supporting structures.

Type M Alumo-Clad Steel Wire Guy Strand Application Power lines, telephone lines, railway signals, communication lines, towers, masts. Construction Type M alumo-clad guy strand is an economical, corrosion resistant buying material for use on overhead line structures. The thick cladding of aluminum on each wire protects the high-strength steel core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength. Costly maintenance is eliminated and the original safety factor of the guy is maintained throughout the life of the line. The alumo-clad steel wire used to make Type M guy strand is unique in that the aluminum cladding thickness is guaranteed to be no less than 10% of the wire radius. Thus, a thick corrosion barrier that is pure aluminum not zinc or and iron-aluminum alloy protects the steel core. Another important feature of any coated or clad wire is the bond between the coating material and the base metal. In the case of alumo-clad steel wire, the aluminum cladding and steel core are joined by a continuous ductile weld. This assures against cracking or separating of the protective aluminum form the steel core. Type M alumo-clad steel wire guy strand is easily handled and installed. It weighs less than any of the other high-strength guying materials.

AAC Bare Aluminum Conductor Applications Stranded 1350 aluminum conductors shown in this section of data are classified as follows: Class AA For bare conductors usually used in overhead lines. Class A For conductors to be covered with weather-resistant materials and for bare conductors where greater flexibility is required.Compact strand conductor for use in bare overhead applications or for use with weather-resistant coverings or insulations is also available. Classes refer to stranding and are an indication of relative conductor flexibility, AA being the least flexible, C the most flexible. Construction Aluminum alloy 1350-H19 wires, concentrically stranded. Specifications AAC bare conductors meet or exceed the following ASTM specifications: • B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1250-H19 for Electrical Purposes • B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded • B-400 Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors Notes • Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of 52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz. • Current ratings are based on 75°C conductor temperature, 25°C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.

AAAC 6201 Alloy Bare Aluminum Conductor Applications Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution. Designed utilizing a highstrength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; affords better sag characteristics. Aluminum alloy gives AAAC higher resistance to corrosion than ACSR. Construction Standard 6201-T81 high strength aluminum conductors, conforming to ASTM Specification B-399, are concentric-lay stranded, similar in construction and appearance to 1350 grade aluminum conductors. Standard 6201 alloy conductors are similar to other alloy conductors commercially known as Ardival, Aldrey or Almelec. They were developed to fill the need for an economical conductor for overhead applications requiring higher strength than that obtainable with 1350 grade aluminum conductors, but without a steel core. The DC resistance at 20°C of the 6201-T81 conductors and of the standard ACSRs of the same diameter are approximately the same. Conductors of the 6201-T81 alloys are harder and, therefore, have a greater resistance to abrasion than conductors of 1350-H19 grade aluminum. Specifications AAAC bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications: • B-398 Aluminum Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes • B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors. Notes • Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of 52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz. • Current ratings are based on 75°C conductor temperature, 25°C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption

TP Twisted Pair Bare Aluminum Conductor Applications TP Twisted Pair Conductor bare aluminum construction, is designed for use in overhead applications subject to Aeolian vibration and galloping due to wind and ice. TP Conductor can be strung to the maximum allowable tension limits without the need for additional vibration protection. Construction TP Conductor is composed of two identical bare conductors twisted together with a left-hand lay. This gives the cable a rectangular spiral shape. This spiral shape disrupts the forces created by steady cross winds which cause cable vibration, by presenting a continuously changing projected cable diameter to the wind. This spiral shape, together with less torsional stiffness and varying bending stiffness also reduces or eliminates cable galloping due to combined ice and wind loads. The component conducts of TP can be conductor types AAC, AAAC, ACAR, ACSR, AAC/TW or ACSR/TW meeting the requirements of the appropriate ASTM standards. Specifications TP Conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications for the subconductor of each assembly: • B-911/B-911M for Twisted Pair Conductor • B-231 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-Lay Stranded. • B-232 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-Lay Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR). • B-399 Concentric-Lay Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors. • B-524 Concentric-Lay Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum Alloy Reinforced (ACAR, 1350/6201) • B-779 Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/TW.) Notes • Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of 52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz. • Current ratings are based on 75°C conductor temperature, 25°C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.

ADSS All Dielectric Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Cable Applications The “All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS)” cables are designed for aerial self-supporting applications at short, medium and long span distances. ADSS cables offer a rapid and economical means for deploying optical fiber cables along existing aerial rights-of-way. They are being deployed by cable television operators, telephone companies, municipalities and emerging network operators, in addition to electric power utilities. Construction The ADSS cable consists of a number of tubes/elements according to the specified number of fibers. The elements are usually fiber-containing tubes; however fillers may be used to preserve the cable geometry. Two to twelve color-coded fibers are loosely laid in each tube which is filled with a water-blocking gel. The tubes are stranded around a dielectric central strength member and bound in a jacket. A water-swelling tape is helically wrapped around the cable core. Aramid yarn strength members are helically laid to supply peripheral strengthening of the cable. The outer jacket is tightly bound over the aramid yarn layer. For long span applications a double jacket design can be considered. A ripcord is located under each jacket layer to facilitate its removal. For up to 30 fiber cables, the “ADSB” design is applicable, for 32-144 fibers the “ADSC” design is applicable. Dry cable designs, ballistic protection and other cable designs are available upon request.. Standards • Cables are designed for aerial installation according to IEEE-P1 222 • Cables tested according to TIA/EIA-455 and IEC-60794-1. • Cables meet or exceed Telcordia (Bellcore) requirements for outside plant cables (GR-20) when the appropriate options are chosen. Default Jacket Colors PE HFFR SM Fibers Black Yellow MM Fibers Black Orange Other jacket colors may be available, please specify. Sag Chart Below are the coefficients for a standard ADSS cable containing 32 to 60 fibers in 5 tubes with a single outer jacket. The cable can be used in a span of 450 feet with NESC light conditions, 300 feet for NESC medium and 240 feet for NESC heavy conditions. • Cross section area 0.196 in^2 • Outside diameter 0.5 in • Unit weight 0.081 lbs/ft • Ultimate tension 5800 lbs The following values are calculated at 68°F • Final modulus of elasticity 3248850 psi • Thermal expansion coefficient -2.78e-7°F • Stress strain A1 2973280 psi • Creep A1 2625190 psi

Wire & Cable Methods of Color Coding Used to identify conductors for point-to-point wiring and for circuit diagrams. Color codes are used to establish a standard for use by different manufacturers. The first color code used colored tracers in a solid colored braid. Most control cable color codes are adaptations of this method. Later, for ease and convenience, ink printed versions were developed. Telephone requirements established special color codes. Color Codes (ICEA Methods) ICEA/NEMA Method 1 Colored insulation with contrasting ink tracers as required. Six different insulation colors and four different colored ink tracers are used to provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The same identification sequence is repeated for cables containing more than 21 conductors. ICEA/NEMA Method 2 A neutral colored compound is used with single or double spiral ink tracers as required to provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated for cables containing more than 21 conductors. ICEA/NEMA Method 3 A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink printed with both conductor number and color designation to provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated for colors containing more than 21 conductors. ICEA/NEMA Method 4 A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink printed with conductor number to provide positive conductor identification through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated for cables containing more than 21 conductors.

ICEA/NEMA Method 5 A color coding using braids. Also sometimes specified using colored insulation and contrasting tracers as an extension of Method I to eliminate duplicate conductors. Up to 127 positive conductor coding are available with this method. Usually specified as per: ICEA5-61-402 Table 5-1 or ICEA 5-19-81 Table 5-2. ICEA/NEMA Method 6 A color coding whereby one conductor in each layer is identified by a braid, tape, ridge, stripe or color. ICEA/NEMA Paired Color Code A coding whereby one leg of all pairs is coded white and its mate is coded in accordance with the first 21 conductors of Method 1, omitting white and repeating the sequence as necessary. Telephone Paired Color Code Five colors are paired with each of five mate colors to give 25 identified pairs. The color sequences are repeated for more than 25 pairs using colored binder strings for group identification.

Note: UL and the NEC restrict the use of green and white as colors and stripes. Special color codes are available to meet these requirements. One method is ICEA Method E-2 which is similar to Method 1 and ICEA Method E-4 which is similar to Method 2.

Recommended Reel Handling Practices How to Handle Cable Reels

Recycling/Reel Return Broken Reel Extreme Makeover Program Innovative solution to salvage broken reels with good cable on it. Reels are picked up, examined and reran on new reels, avoiding scrapping expensive wire. Empty Wooden Reels Recycled program AWG continuously picks up empty wooden reels at no cost. This eliminates labor and time to breakdown reels, as well as refuse costs.

Cradle both reel flanges between forks.

Upended heavy reels will often arrive damaged. Refuse or receive subject to inspection for hidden damage.

Reels can be hoisted with a shaft extending through both flanges.

Do not lift by top flange. Cable or reel will be damaged.

Lower reels from truck using hydraulic gate, hoist or fork lift. LOWER CAREFULLY!

Never allow forks to touch cable surface or reel wrap.

Always load with flanges on edge and chock and block securely.

Never drop reels.

Wire & Cable Glossary of Terms AWG Abbreviation for American Wire Gauge. AWM Designation for appliance wiring material. Alternating Current Electric current that continually reverses its direction. Is expressed in cycles per second (hertz or Hz). Ambient Temperature The temperature of the medium (gas, liquid or earth) surrounding an object. American Mustang A premium grade thermoset cord, UL listed as SOOW or SJOOW, CSA SOOW and SJOOW. American Wire Gauge (AWG) A standard system for designating wire diameter. Also referred to as the Brown and Sharpe (B&S) wire gauge. Ampacity See Current Carrying Capacity. Ampere The unit of current. One ampere is the current flowing through one ohm of resistance at one volt potential. Anneal Relief of mechanical stress through application of heat and gradual cooling. Annealing copper renders it soft and less brittle. Audio Frequency The range of frequencies audible to the human ear. Usually 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20,000 Hz. Braid A fibrous or metallic group of filaments interwoven in cylindrical form to form a covering over one or more wires. Breakdown Voltage The voltage at which the insulation between two conductors breaks down. Bunch Stranding A group of wires of the same diameter twisted together without a predetermined pattern. Cabling The twisting together of two or more insulated conductors to form a cable. Capacitance The ability of a dielectric material between conductors to store electricity when a difference of potential exists between the conductors. The unit of measurement is the farad, which is the capacitance value that will store a charge of one coulomb when a one-volt potential difference exists between the conductors. In AC, one farad is the capacitance value that will permit one ampere of current when the voltage across the capacitor changes at a rate of one volt per second.
