S2 Covered Conductors

15kV-25kV-35kV
Multi-layer
Tree Wire
Aluminum Conductors. Copper Neutral Track-Resistant HD
Polyethylene or Track-Resistant Crosslinked Polyethylene Covering.

Construction
Conductors are concentrically stranded, 1350-H19 aluminum
(either compressed or full compact depending on conductor size).
Available with high density track-resistant polyethylene (HDTRPE)
or Track-Resistant Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) covering.

2 Layer 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 spacer cables and/or 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.

Specification
Southwires 15kV 46kV spacer cable meets or exceeds all
applicable ICEA specifications and the following ASTM
specifications:
ASTM B230
ASTM B231
ASTM B232
ASTM B398
ASTM B399
ASTM B400
