Copperclad
Steel Wire
Applications
Copperclad steel wire and strand combines the electrical characteristics of copper with the mechani-
cal properties of steel. Often used for buried ground grid systems, overhead ground wire and mes-
senger wire, it can resist mechanical damage during installation, as well as electrical damage
during a fault condition.
Copperclad steel has virtually no scrap value, greatly reducing the potential of theft.
Construction
Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) Copperclad Steel (CCS) conductors are a concentric lay-stranded con-
struction. The CCS strands are a 40% conductivity grade of material using a low carbon steel core
rendering greater flexibility to enable easier handling during installation
Specifications
CCS bare conductors meet or exceed the following ASTM specifications:
• B-193 Standard Test Method for Resistivity of Electrical Conductor Materials
• B-227 Standard Specification for Hard-Drawn Copperclad Steel Wire
• B-228 Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copperclad Steel Conductors
• B-258 Standard Specification for Standard Nominal Diameters and Cross-Sectional Areas of AWG
Sizes of Solid Round
• B-910 Standard Specification for Annealed Copperclad Steel Wire
• Wires Used as Electrical Conductors
Note
The ampacity rating and the DC and AC resistance of the Copperclad Steel wire conductor is not
equivalent to that of copper conductor.
To select the correct equivalent please see the chart below.

Alumoclad
Steel Wire
Application
Overhead ground wire, shield wire protecting transmission lines against lightning damage.
Construction
Alumoclad steel wire and strand is used by power utilities as well as formed wire and optical
ground wire manufacturers. alumoclad steel wire outlasts other options by as much as 200% in cor-
rosive environments, significantly lowering maintenance and replacement costs. When compared
to solid aluminum wire, alumoclad steel wire offers tremendous savings.
Alumoclad steel wire overhead ground wire has excellent corrosion resistance. Its strength and con-
ductivity 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 alu-
minum which provides a substantial barrier of protective metal. The minimum cladding thickness of
alumoclad 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.
Alumoclad 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 per-
mits greater span lengths, less sag and heavier loads under storm loading conditions.
Directly related to strength and sag performance is the lighter weight of alumoclad steel wire. Due
to its thick cladding of aluminum, alumoclad steel wire is 15% lighter that a steel strand of equiva-
lent size. This lighter weight, combined with high strength, permits alumoclad steel wire to be in-
stalled to the same sags as steel with correspondingly lower tensions and tower stresses on the
towers or supporting structures.

Type M
Alumoclad Steel Wire
Guy Strand
Application
Power lines, telephone lines, railway signals, communication lines, towers, masts.
Construction
Type M alumoclad guy strand is an economical, corrosion resistant buying material for use on over-
head 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 origi-
nal safety factor of the guy is maintained throughout the life of the line.
The alumoclad 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 alumoclad steel wire, the aluminum cladding and steel core are joined
by a continuous ductile weld. This assures against cracking or separating of the protective alu-
minum form the steel core.
Type M alumoclad steel wire guy strand is easily handled and installed. It weighs less than any of
the other high-strength guying materials.

ACSR
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
Applications
Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. ACSR
offers optimal strength for line design. Variable steel core stranding enables desired strength to be
achieved without sacrificing ampacity.
Construction
Aluminum alloy 1350-H-19 wires, concentrically stranded about a steel core. Core wire for ACSR is
available with class A, B, or C galvanizing; “aluminized” aluminum coated (AZ); or aluminum-clad
(AW). Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the corer or
infusion of the complete cable with grease.
Specifications
ACSR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
• B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes
• B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
• B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
• B-502 Aluminum-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW)
• B-498 Zinc-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
• B-500 Zinc Coated and Aluminum Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel
Reinforced (ACSR)
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.

ACSS
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
Applications
Used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. Designed to operate continuously at ele-
vated temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength. It sags less under emergency electrical
loadings than ASCR; it is self-damping if prestretched during installation, and the final sags are not
affected by long term creep of aluminum. The advantages make ACSS especially useful in recon-
ductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances, new line
applications where structures can be economized because of reduced conductor sag, new line ap-
plications requiring high emergency loadings, and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.
Construction
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the
conductor with one or more layers of aluminum 1350-0 wire stranded around it. The steel core car-
ries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the (fully annealed or soft) temper
aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing, aluminizing, or mischmetal
alloy coating. Corrosion protection should be selected to suit the environment to which the conduc-

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, 1350-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
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
Applications
Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution. Designed utilizing a high-
strength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-to-weight ratio; affords better sag characteris-
tics. 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 con-
ductors. Standard 6201 alloy conductors were developed to fill the need for an economical conduc-
tor 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 conduc-
tors 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
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
Applications
TP Twisted Pair Conductor bare aluminum construction, is designed for use in overhead applica-
tions 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 as-
sembly:
• 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.

APPLICATION
Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR/TW)
is designed for use as a bare overhead conductor. There are two designs of ACSR/TW. One design
gives an equal area of aluminum when compared to the standard ACSR conductor sizes. The other
design gives an overall outside diameter equal to standard ACSR conductor sizes. Use of this con-
ductor in the equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when com-
pared with standard ACSR conductor. Use of this conductor in the equal diameter design allows
more ampacity in an equal diameter conductor when compared with standard ACSR conductor.

ACSS/TW
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
APPLICATIONS
ACSS/TW is designed for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to operate
continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250°C without loss of strength, it sags less under emer-
gency electrical loadings than ACSR/TW, excellent self-damping properties, and its final sags are
not affected by long-term creep of aluminum. ACSS/TW is available in equal area and equal diame-
ter design. The equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when
compared with a standard ACSS conductor. The equal diameter design allows more ampacity in an
equal diameter conductor when compared with a standard ACSS conductor. ACSS/TW also pro-
vides many design opportunities for new line construction: i.e., reduced tower cost, decreased sag,
increased self-damping properties, increased operating temperature and improved corrosion resist-
ance.
CONSTRUCTION
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the
conductor with one or more layers of 63% minimum average conductivity aluminum 1350-0 wire
stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to
the "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by a
zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating. High strength steel core, aluminized, and aluminum
clad steel core is also available.
SPECIFICATIONS
• B500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced.
• B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
• B802 Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors,
Steel Reinforced.
• B803 High-Strength Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum
and Aluminum-Alloy Conductors, Steel Reinforced.
• B856 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Supported (ACSS)
• B857 Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Sup-
ported (ACSS/TW).
NOTES
1)Data based on a nominal cable manufactured in accordance with ASTM B 857.
2)Resistance and ampacity based on an aluminum conductivity of 63% IACS at 20°C and a steel
conductivity of 8% IACS at 20°C.
3)Ampacity based on referenced conductor temperature, 25°C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec wind,
in sun, with an emmisivity of 0.5 and a coefficient of solar absorption of 0.5, at sea level.
4)Rated breaking strength for standard core based on Class A zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy
coated steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 802.
5)Rated strength for high strength core based on Class A zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy
coated high strength steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 803.
6)The final design of a shaped wire compact conductor is contingent upon several factors such as:
layer diameter, wire width and wire thickness. The actual configuration of a given size may vary
between manufacturers. This may result in a slight variation in the number of wires, number of
layers and dimensions of individual wires from that shown in the chart.

Covered AL Line Wire
Weatherproof
DISTRIBUTION CABLES
TRANSMISSION.&
Applications
Covered Line Wire is used primarily for overhead secondary distribution lines. It is not an electri-
cally insulated conductor and is treated as bare conductor when installed.
Construction
Conductors are aluminum alloy 1350-H19, 6201-181, or ACSR conductors, concentrically stranded
and covered for weather proofing with polyethylene, high density polyethylene (HD) or crosslinked
polyethylene (XLP).
Standards
• ASTM B-230 Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
• ASTM B-231 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
• ASTM B-1248 Polyethylene Plastics Molding and Extrusion Materials.
• ASTM C-8.35 Specifications for Weather-Resistant Polethylene-Covered Wire and Cable.
• ICEA S-70-547
Notes
• The code words as given apply to conventional polyethylene line wire.
• For 6201 aluminum conductors diameter equivalent to ACSR construction or 1350 aluminum
equivalent.
• Ampacity ratings based on 75°C conductor temperature, 25°C ambient temperature elevation –
sea level. Emissivity 0.91 coefficient of absorption 0.95. Thermal reisitivity of covering -375°C-
Cm2/Watt-CM. Wind speed 2ft/sec in sun.
• To determine correct ampacity by conductor size, please consult the National Electric Code, latest
edition.

PowerGuard® 35kV 100% MV TR-XLPE Aluminum Collection System Cable
LLDPE Jacket UL MV-90/AEIC CS8-07
Manufactured by Seoul Electric Cable Co., Ltd
Applications
PowerGuard® cables are intended for use in wet or dry locations for distribution of single or three
phase medium-voltage power. These cables may be installed in ducts or direct buried.
Description
Single conductor cable with filled strand aluminum conductors, triple extruded dry cured insulation
system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength
PowerGuardTRXLPE insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, copper concentric
neutral wires, water blocking agents, black encapsulating linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE)
jacket.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or 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, 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 in-
sulation 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 accor-
dance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1
hour.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE
Jacket: Black insulating sunlight resistant linear low-density polyethylene encapsulating the neutral

1) Extruded layer thicknesses and insulation and insulation shield diameters are in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for concentric neutral cables rated 5-46 kV and also meet the requirements of the latest revisions
of AEIC CS8. Dimensions and weights not designated as minimum or maximum are nominal values and are subject to manufacturing tolerances.
2) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90ºC-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20ºC, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load fac-
tor, conductor temperature of 105ºC, and 36" depth of burial.
3) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90 ºC-cm/W, earth ambient of 20ºC, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load fac-
tor, conductor temperature of 105ºC, and 36" depth of burial.
4) UL Type MV-105 PowerGuard®-XL is rated MV-105 in accordance with the UL 1072 Standard. It should be noted that utilizing a 105 ºC normal operating conductor temperature will increase cable ampacity rating but
will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105ºC conductor temperature for normal operation and 140ºC for emergency overload, please contact American Wire Group
for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conductor tempera-
ture and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.

1) Extruded layer thicknesses and insulation and insulation shield diameters are in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for concentric neutral cables rated 5-46 kV and also meet the requirements of the latest revisions
of AEIC CS8. Dimensions and weights not designated as minimum or maximum are nominal values and are subject to manufacturing tolerances.
2) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90ºC-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20ºC, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load fac-
tor, conductor temperature of 105ºC, and 36" depth of burial.
3) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90 ºC-cm/W, earth ambient of 20ºC, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load fac-
tor, conductor temperature of 105ºC, and 36" depth of burial.
4) UL Type MV-105 PowerGuard®-XL is rated MV-105 in accordance with the UL 1072 Standard. It should be noted that utilizing a 105 ºC normal operating conductor temperature will increase cable ampacity rating but
will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105ºC conductor temperature for normal operation and 140ºC for emergency overload, please contact American Wire Group
for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conductor tempera-
ture and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.

PowerGuard® XL cables are intended for use in wet or dry locations for distribution of single or
three phase medium-voltage power. These cables may be installed in ducts or direct buried.
Description
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 XLTRXLPE insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, copper concen-
tric neutral wires, water blocking agents, black encapsulating cross-linked polyethylene jacket.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or 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 - 133% insulation level.
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the in-
sulation 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 accor-
dance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1
hour.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE
Jacket: The outer jacket is an extruded-to-fill black non-conducting cross-linked polyethylene jacket,
meeting the physical requirements of Table 1 when tested by the methods specified in ANSI/ICEA S-
CABLES
94-649. The jacket shall be free-stripping and not interfere with an intimate contact between the neu-
tral wires and the underlying extruded insulation shield. The jacket shall contain a print legend
marking, sequential length marking and three longitudinal extruded red stripes.

will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105ºC conductor temperature for normal operation and 140ºC for emergency overload, please contact Classic Wire and
Cable, LLC for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conduc-
tor temperature and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.

PowerGuard® 5kV-35kV Copper 3-Conductor TR-XLPE Tape Shield
w/Ground PVC Jacket UL MV-105/AEIC CS8-07
Applications
Medium voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-inten-
sive cable in conduit wiring methods.
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart.
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or 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, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S-
94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the in-
sulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for
phase identification - 1C w/Red, 1C w/Blue, and 1C w/None.
Grounding Conductors: Three bare stranded copper conductor, one in each interstice.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket tightly applied over the binder tape.

PowerGuard® 5kV-35kV Aluminum 3-Conductor TR-XLPE Tape Shield
w/Ground PVC Jacket UL MV-105/AEIC CS8-07
Applications
Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-inten-
sive cable in conduit wiring methods.
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart.
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or 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, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S-
94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the in-
sulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for
phase identification - 1C w/Red, 1C w/Blue, and 1C w/None.
Grounding Conductors: Three bare stranded copper conductor, one in each interstice.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket tightly applied over the binder tape.

Testing Recommendations
June 7, 2016
Regarding field testing cables for commissioning, we recommend the VLF Testing in Accordance to
IEEE 400: IEEE Guide for Field Testing and Evaluation of the Insulation of Shielded Power Cable Sys-
tems in accordance to Table 1 IEEE400.2 VLF Test Voltage Levels for Sinusoidal, Cosine-Rectangular.
Voltage Peak values are shown in brackets for Cosine-Rectangular and Squarewave.
The most important application part of the new IEEE400.2 cable testing guide is the Table 1 below
that shows the recommended VLF Hipot voltage testing levels for the various medium voltage cable
ratings for both new (Acceptance and Installation Testing) and old (Maintenance Testing) cable in-
stallations.
This is a Pass/Fail type test, the cable either withstands the specified test voltage or it does not.
The IEEE400 defines types of field tests:
Installation Test
This test is conducted after the installation of the cable but before the installation ofaccessories like
the splices and terminations. Its purpose is to detect any transport, manufacturing, storage or instal-
lation defects.
Acceptance Test
This test is performed after the installation of the accessories, but before energization ofthe cable. It
checks for installation defects of the complete cable system, as well as defects as a result of ship-
ping, manufacturing or storage.
Test Frequency
VLF test frequency is 0.1Hz of a testing of 30 minutes.

TR-XLPE Insulation Copper Tape Shield AIA
PVC Jacket UL Type MV-105 or MC, AEIC CS8
Applications
• Armored Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to
labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
• Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feetApart
• Installed in both exposedAnd concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded
in concrete
Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded copper conductor. Optional water-block-
ing.
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
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the in-
sulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap
Ground Wire: Three bare copper ground wires placed at the interstice of the conductor.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Armor: Aluminum Interlocked armor applied over the binder tape of the cable core
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket

NOTES:
• The above dimensions are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
• Ampacities are based on the following: Three Phase Operation In Duct (2011 NEC Table
310.60(C)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 105°C conductor temperature,
20°C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90°C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor, and shields short-
circuited. Isolated in air (2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 105°C conductor
temperature, and 40°C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only. In Cable
Tray: per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b)3, for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, in-
stalled in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable am-
pacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72) (Aluminum), “Isolated in air” values noted above.
• Insulated cables are capable of operating at 105°C. However, the maximum operating tempera-
ture of the cable should be based on the maximum operating temperature of the cable acces-
sories to be used.

PowerGuard® Armored 5kV-35kV Aluminum 3/C with Copper Ground Wire
TR-XLPE Insulation Copper Tape Shield AIA
PVC Jacket UL Type MV-105 or MC,AEIC CS8
Applications
• Armored Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to
labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
• Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart
• Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded
in concrete
Construction
Conductor: Class A or 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
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the in-
sulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap
Ground Wire: Three bare copper ground wires placed at the interstice of the conductor.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Armor: Aluminum Interlocked armor applied over the binder tape of the cable core
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket
Specifications
• AEIC CS8, Specifications for Shielded Power Cable, 5-46kV
• ICEA S-93-639, 5-46 kV Shielded Power Cable
• ICEA S-97-682, Utility Shielded Power Cable Rated 5-46 kV
• UL-1072 MV-105
• UL-1569, Metal Clad Cables
• IEEE 383 Flame Test
• For 105°C continuous, 140°C emergency, 250°C short-circuit operation.
ARMORED CABLES
• UL MC-HL available upon request
NOTES:
• The above dimensions are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
• Ampacities are based on the following: Three Phase Operation In Duct (2011 NEC Table
310.60(C)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 105°C conductor temperature,
20°C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90°C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor, and shields short-
circuited. Isolated in air (2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 105°C conductor
temperature, and 40°C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only. In Cable
Tray: per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b)3, for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0AWG and larger, in-
stalled in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable am-
pacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72) (Aluminum), “Isolated in air” values noted above.
• Insulated cables are capable of operating at 105°C. However, the maximum operating tempera-
ture of the cable should be based on the maximum operating temperature of the cable acces-
sories to be used.

Continuously Corrugated Welded Armored Power Cable
FR-XLP Insulation (XHHW-2), 600V/1kV
Type MC-HL 1/C
Application
All cables produced to this specification are recognized by the NECAs 600 Volt Type MC-HL and are
suitable for use as described in the code. The conductor temperatures are rated for continuous oper-
ation of 90°C, for emergency overload of 130°C and for short circuit of 250°C. The cables meet the
requirements for application in NEC Class I , Class II and Class III, Div. 1 and 2, Hazardous Locations
covered under NEC articles 501, 502 and 503. The cables are intended for use in industrial applica-
tions where aluminum armor protection is necessary. The continuously welded sheath serves to
provide a completely moisture impervious barrier for the core as well as providing superior electro
static shielding characteristics. The cables may be used in wet or dry applications, installed in racks,
trays or aerially.
These cables have an overall jacket and can be direct buried in earth and buried in concrete.
Three conductor cables are manufactured in accordance with industry accepted practice of using
three symmetrically placed grounds making them advantageous for use in pulse-width modulated
cables and variable frequency drive applications.
Construction
This specification covers single and multi-conductor power cables insulated with flame retardant
crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). The insulated conductors cabled with a ground wire or wires, and
the assembly are encased in a moisture impervious continuously welded corrugated aluminum
armor, and covered with a protective jacket overall. Three conductor type cables are constructed for
VFD applications.
Conductors - The conductors consist of uncoated soft, copper strands meeting the requirements
ofASTM B3. Unless otherwise specified the conductors are supplied as compact round per ASTM
B496.
Insulation - The insulation is flame-retardant crosslinked polyethylene (XHHW-2) extruded concen-
trically over the conductor to the wall thickness for Type XHHW-2 as specified in the relevant govern-
ing specification.
Conductor Coding - Phase identification is provided by number code on each insulated conductor.
Ground Wire - Three stranded bare copper ground wires located in each of the outer interstices for 3
conductor cables, one in one of the interstices for 2 or 4 conductor cables, or helically applied con-
centric wires for single conductor cables. The total ground wire cross section in all cases meets the
minimum UL requirements for ground size.
Assembly - Conductors and ground wire are cabled together with a left hand lay and suitable fillers
ARMORED CABLES
make the cable round. a binder tape is applied.
Armor - Over the taped assembly there is continuously welded corrugated aluminum armor.
Jacket -A protective sunlight and ozone resistant PVC or low smoke halogen free (LSHF) polyolefin
jacket is extruded for a tight fit over the interlocked armor.

Application
All cables produced to this specification are recognized by the NEC as 600 Volt Type MC-HL and are
suitable for use as described in the code. The conductor temperatures are rated for continuous oper-
ation of 90°C, for emergency overload of 130°C and for short circuit of 250°C. The cables meet the
requirements for application in NEC Class I, Class II and Class III, Div. 1 and 2, Hazardous Locations
covered under NEC articles 501, 502 and 503. The cables are intended for use in industrial applica-
tions where aluminum armor protection is necessary. The continuously welded sheath serves to
provide a completely moisture impervious barrier for the core as well as providing superior electro
static shielding characteristics. The cables may be used in wet or dry applications, installed in racks,
trays or aerially.
These cables have an overall jacket and can be direct buried in earth and buried in concrete.
Three conductor cables are manufactured in accordance with industry accepted practice of using
three symmetrically placed grounds making them advantageous for use in pulse-width modulated
cables and variable frequency drive applications.

Ampacities are based on Table 310.15(B)(16) of the NEC.
* Ampacities shown are for general use as specified by the NEC, Section 310.15. For equipment
marked for use at higher temperatures, the conductor ampacity shall be limited to the following
per NEC 110.14(C):
• 60°C when terminated to equipment for circuits rated 100 amperes or less or marked for size
14AWG through 1AWG conductor.
• 75°C when terminated to equipment for circuits rated over 100 amperes or marked for conduc-
tors larger than 1AWG.
• 90°C for ampacity derating purposes.
When the neutral is considered current-carrying conductor, the ampacity of 4/C cables shall be re-
duced by a factor of 0.80 per NEC 310.15(B)(2)(a). The above data is approximate and subject to nor-
mal manufacturing tolerances.

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 dif-
ferent 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.

OPGW Optical Ground Wire
Applications
OPGW cable is suited for installation on transmission lines with the double function of a ground wire
(designed to replace traditional static or shield wires) and a communication wire. OPGW conducts
short circuit current and provide lightning resistance as it “shields” conductors, while providing a
telecommunications path for internal as well as third party communications. OPGW must be capable
of withstanding the mechanical and environmental stresses inflicted on overhead cables (such those
caused by wind or ice). OPGW must also be capable of handling electrical faults on the transmission
line by providing a path to ground yet preventing damage to the delicate optical fibers inside the cable.
OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) with a stainless steel central tube is preferred for its compact size and
ability to house up to 72 fibers in a diameter starting at only 12mm. Its small profile offers an excep-
tional solution to the diameter and weight concerns on many of today’s overloaded transmission
towers where an existing shield wire needs to be replaced with an OPGW cable.
Construction
OPGW cable has two constructions:
Central loose tube type:The fibers are placed loosely in a sealed and water resistant central, alu-
minum tube filled with water blocking gel. This tube provides protection to the fiber during installa-
tion and operation under severe environmental conditions. The stainless steel tube may also be
aluminum-clad steel depending on the engineering requirements. The stainless optical tube is lo-
cated at the center of the cable protected by single or multiple layers of aluminum clad steel, alu-
minum alloy wires, or steel wires. The metallic wires provide mechanical strength to withstand
severe installation and operating conditions, while achieving conductivity to control temperature
rise during short circuit conditions.
Each optical fiber is clearly distinguishable utilizing a fiber identification system consisting of color-
ing and the number of ring marks on it. This compact design features high mechanical strength and
fault current rating within a smaller diameter. The smaller diameter also results in excellent sag ten-
sion performance.
Multi loose tube type: The fibers is placed loosely in a sealed and water resistant stainless steel
tube filled with water blocking gel. Two or three stainless steel optical tubes are helically stranded in
the inner layer of a multiple-layer cable. The multi loose tube type is designed mostly for very high
fiber count requirement over 48 with the maximum fiber count reaching 144. The multi loose tube
type can meet the requirement of huge cross and large current capacity.
The optical fiber is made of high pure silica and germanium doped silica. UV curable acrylate mate-
rial is applied over fiber cladding as optical fiber primary protective coating. The detail data of opti-
cal fiber performance are shown in the following table.
Optical fiber uses special spun device successfully controlled the value of PMD, and makes sure
that it can keep stable in cabling.

OPGW Cable & System Information Guide
for Hardware Selection
The following outline describes the OPGW cable information required to select proper cable attach-
ment hardware and accessories. Most of the cable information can be found in the cable specifica-
tion — it is recommended that this information be gathered along with the information about the
cable system. Submit this information to American Wire Group to verify proper application.
A. CABLE INFORMATION REQUIRED for DEAD-ENDS AND SUSPENSIONS
1. CABLE SPECIFICATIONS/Cable Specification Sheet Data
a. Cable Diameter: Overall outer diameter of the OPGW.
b. Cable Construction Strand Configuration: Lay Direction of outer wire strands, Distribution
and Location of individual strand materials in a cross-section, Number of strand layers.
c. Rated Breaking Strength
d. Fault Current
2. CABLE SYSTEM
a. Maximum Vertical Load at Hardware Attachment
b. Line Angles
In addition to the outline above, other products offered for OPGW applications require further infor-
mation as listed in Part B below.
B. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR OTHER HARDWARE ACCESSORIES

ADSS
All Dielectric Self-Supporting
Fiber Optic Cable
Applications
The “All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS)” cables are designed for aerial self-supporting applica-
tions 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 consid-
ered. 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 de-
signs, 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.

High Density Polyethylene Duct
Application
High Density Polyethelene Duct has been tested and proven under the most severe conditions.
From extreme temperatures to abrasive and high-tension applications in underground installations,
HDPE provides quality service and economy in a wide range of uses. As a smooth and flexible duct
for cable, HDPE is unequaled for ease of installation and continuous strength.
Description
The duct shall be manufactured from virgin high-density polyethylene. The addition of clean rework
material is permissible if generated in the manufacturer’s own plant. The ducts are supplied with ei-
ther smooth, ribbed, or corrugated walls and come in a multitude of colors. The duct shall be capa-
ble of being coiled (reeled) in continuous lengths, transported, stored outdoors and subsequently
uncoiled for installation - without affecting its properties or performance.
Environmental Performance
The duct shall perform in underground and aboveground temperature range of minus 300° temper-
ature range of minus 300°F to 1300°F without degradation of material properties. The duct specified
for aerial installation shall be ultraviolet light resistant. It shall be possible to bend the duct to a
minimum (supported) radius of 10 diameters. Workmanship The duct shall be free of visible cracks,
holes or other physical defects that would degrade its performance. It shall be as uniform as practi-
cable in respect to overall dimensions, color, density, thickness, etc.
Color
The duct for exposed areas (black) shall have a minimum of carbon black. All other colors shall have
a UV light stabilizer which will protect the duct for a minimum of 12 months in direct sunlight.
Markings
The duct shall have a durable identification showing the name or trademark of the manufacturer,
duct size (i.e., 2” IPS SCH-80), date and reference code. Duct for electrical cable should have “CAU-
TION - HIGH-VOLTAGE” printed at regular intervals. Other special markings can be agreed upon be-
tween the buyer and seller.
Capping
The open ends of each length of reeled duct shall be sealed by plastic caps to prevent the entrance
of dirt and/or moisture.
Pull Rope and Lubricant
The duct should be equipped with a factory installed rope or tape and pre-lubed to aid in the instal-
lation of cable. The rope can be provided with varying strengths as needed for a particular installa-
tion. Check with a manufacturer for specifications.
Couplings
Couplings should be available to quickly connect the duct and should be air and watertight (i.e.,
Duct-Lok type couplings in either plastic or aluminum, depending on type of installation).
Packaging
The duct should be provided on lightweight metal reels in maximum lengths possible with no joints
or splices. This will keep coupling requirements to a minimum. Special reel sizes and/ or dimen-
sions should be available for special installations.
Corrosion
The duct shall be resistant to most harsh chemicals and/or protected against degradation due to ox-
idation or general corrosion.
Installation
The duct shall be capable of being direct buried by plowing or trenching with no special considera-

Testing Recommendations
June 7, 2016
Regarding field testing cables for commissioning, we recommend the VLF Testing in Accordance to
IEEE 400: IEEE Guide for Field Testing and Evaluation of the Insulation of Shielded Power Cable Sys-
tems in accordance to Table 1 IEEE400.2 VLF Test Voltage Levels for Sinusoidal, Cosine-Rectangular.
Voltage Peak values are shown in brackets for Cosine-Rectangular and Squarewave.
The most important application part of the new IEEE400.2 cable testing guide is the Table 1 below
that shows the recommended VLF Hipot voltage testing levels for the various medium voltage cable
ratings for both new (Acceptance and Installation Testing) and old (Maintenance Testing) cable in-
stallations.
This is a Pass/Fail type test, the cable either withstands the specified test voltage or it does not.
The IEEE400 defines types of field tests:
Installation Test
This test is conducted after the installation of the cable but before the installation ofaccessories like
the splices and terminations. Its purpose is to detect any transport, manufacturing, storage or instal-
lation defects.
Acceptance Test
This test is performed after the installation of the accessories, but before energization ofthe cable. It
checks for installation defects of the complete cable system, as well as defects as a result of ship-
ping, manufacturing or storage.
Test Frequency
VLF test frequency is 0.1Hz of a testing of 30 minutes.

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 dif-
ferent 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.
