2-2-4 Mussel Aluminum Triplex Overhead

Application:

Used to supply power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user's service  head where connection to the service entrance cable is made. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.

Also Known As:

Triplex aluminum wire, triplex overhead wire, aluminum triplex, triplex conductor, overhead aluminum wire, aluminum overhead cables, overhead service drop conductors.
