To provide electricity from the utility's lines to the consumer's weatherhead. Suitable for service at 600 volts or less (phase to phase) with a maximum conductor temperature of 75°C for polyethylene insulation or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
product features:
The conductors consist of compressed 1350-H19 aluminum, stranded in a concentric manner. The insulation is either polyethylene or crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). The neutral messengers are concentrically stranded, and they can be made of 6201, AAC, or ACSR.
Standards:
The service drop cable complies with or surpasses the specified ASTM standards:
Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Applications, designated as B-230.
Aluminum Conductors, Stranded in a Concentric Lay, designated as B-231.
Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, with Coated Steel Reinforcement (ACSR), designated as B-232.
Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Aluminum Alloy Conductors of 6201-T81, designated as B-399.
Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors utilizing a Single Input Wire, designated as B-901.

The tables are large, so you will need to use your fingers to swipe left to view all columns of data.
The specified sizes correspond to the ACSR 6/1 diameter equivalent resistivity as per ASTM-B-399 for 6201.
Conductor temperature is 90°C for XLP and 75°C for Poly, with ambient temperatures at 40°C, emissivity of 0.9, and a sun-exposed wind speed of 2ft/sec.
For determining the current ampacity based on conductor size, refer to the most recent edition of The National Electric Code.
The information is an approximation and is susceptible to standard manufacturing tolerances.
