Description:
This OH Triplex service drop cable is a power distribution cable that is often suspended in the air via electric poles. It is for this reason the cable is said to be an overhead cable (OH). The triplex wire consists of three individually insulated conductors that are twisted together.
Overhead cables face a lot of challenges and thus require to be well constructed for them to distribute power effectively. Of the three individually constructed conductors are two live conductors and a neutral conductor. The phase conductors are made of aluminum and are twisted around the neutral conductor which is bare. The live conductors are twisted to enhance the performance of the cable in terms of current transmission and heat emission.
Its ability to emit heat even at high temperature is the reason why it is known as an electric service drop cable. The neutral conductor is bare to increase more surface area for the dissipation of heat to the air. It is important to understand the difference between the phase and neutral conductors. A white print is marked on the phase conductors for easy identification.
Features:
• Rated for 600 Volt
• It has an average temperature rating of 90°C
• Lead free cable
Insulation:
The aluminum conductors are housed in cross-linked polyethylene insulation for safety. The lead-free XLPE insulation allows the cable to be resistant to weathering, tearing, abrasion, cutting and even chemical decay.
Applications:
The overhead triplex wire is used to transmit power from an electric pole to a customer’s premise. It transmits up to 600 volts of power. Furthermore it can operate in environments with a temperature rating of 75°C for standard polyethylene insulation. However in hotter conditions cross linked polyethylene is used since it can withstand higher temperatures of up to 90°C.
