Application
Our Covered Line Wire is specifically designed for outdoor overhead (aerial) installations. This product primarily facilitates the distribution of electrical energy under normal service conditions. It is rated to perform reliably at normal service temperatures of 75โ or 90โ , ensuring consistent power delivery.
Description
ZD Cable constructs its Covered Line Wire using stranded conductors; these conductors can be circular compressed or uncompressed for versatile application. We offer a range of conductor materials, including aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, Aluminum Conductors Steel Reinforced (ACSR), or Aluminum Conductors Aluminum-Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW). These high-quality conductors are concentrically stranded to ensure optimal electrical and mechanical performance. A robust, black thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) material covers the conductors, providing excellent weather and UV resistance for extended outdoor service life.
