Application

Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where limited space is available or desired  for  rights-of-way.  Installed the same as bare conductors, however, covering is effective in preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flash overs should tree limbs or other objects contact conductors in such close proximity.

Tree Wire - Used for spans where trees crowd the right-of-way, such as in wooded residential areas, when a minimum of interference with the environment is desired. Covering minimizes power outages due to conductor contact with  tree  limbs, reducing the need for frequent or severe trimming.

Covered Aerial MV Cable - 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.

Spacer Cable - Installed with other spacer 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.

Construction

AAC  (1350-H19),  AAAC  or  ACSR  conductors, concentrically stranded. Available with black or gray track-resistant, high-density polyethylene (HD) or black track-resistant crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) covering.
