2/0 AWG Anaheim Aluminum Alloy 6201-T81 Concentric Round Covered Shield Polyethylene 35KV Tree Wire

Allowable Ampacity for 2/0 AWG Anaheim Aluminum Alloy 6201-T81 Concentric Round Covered Shield Polyethylene 35KV Tree Wire:100 Amps

About:

Tree wire or covered open wire consists of the conductor (aluminum, aluminum alloy or ACSR ) and the extruded covering (conductor shield, low density inner layer and protective outer layer). Covering thickness depends on the system voltage. Itis designed for full span applications and is supported on polyethylene insulators. We also offer a two layer covered conductor design for 15kV systems that are not subject to heavy tree contact. Covered conductors are available in black or gray depending on visual preference.

Also Known As:

• 35KV Covered Aerial MV (Medium Voltage) Cable
• Covered Conductor Tree Wire
• Insulated Aerial Medium Voltage Cable
• 35KV Polyethylene Covered Aluminum Cable

Application:

Hendrix provides tree wire designed for systems from 15kV through 46kV. Polyethylene insulators must be used to insure dielectric compatibility with conductor covering. Conductors are supported on crossarms or standoff brackets. Span lengths are limited by the conductor breaking strength and the amount of sag that is permissible. Covered conductors are rated for continuous operation at 75°C. (Consult Hendrix sales representative for 46kV tree wire systems).

Benefits:

• Covering prevents faults due to contact
• Proprietary, high density outer layer resists abrasion, electrical tracking and UV degradation.
• Reduced NESC phase spacing is possible due to high impulse strength covering.
• Pole hardware is the same as bare wire construction except that Hendrix polyethylene insulators are required.

Standards:

• ASTM B399 for the aluminum alloy conductors, indicating its mechanical and electrical properties
• ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for covered aerial medium voltage cables, specifying construction, testing, and performance criteria
• IEEE 592 (Extruded and Laminated Dielectric Shielded Cable Joints for Use With Extruded Dielectric Cable Rated 5 kV–500 kV) as applicable for accessories and fittings
• Additional local and national codes regarding medium voltage aerial lines

Construction:

• Conductors are made from Aluminum Alloy 6201-T81, providing a blend of strength and conductivity
• A concentric round construction enhances the mechanical robustness and flexibility of the cable
• The outer shield is made of high-quality cross-linked polyethylene, capable of withstanding 35KV, offering excellent insulation and environmental resistance
• The wire includes a semi-conductive layer to equalize electric field distribution around the conductor

Features:

• Superior insulation resistance, improving safety and reliability in high-voltage distribution systems
• Enhanced physical and mechanical protection against abrasions, impacts, and penetration, extending the wire's lifespan
• UV and weather-resistant insulation, ensuring performance stability under various environmental conditions
• Improved fault tolerance and reduced maintenance needs due to its robust construction
