Applications
Copperclad steel wire and strand combines the electrical characteristics of copper with the mechanical properties of steel. Often used for buried ground grid systems, overhead ground wire and messenger wire, it can resist mechanical damage during installation, as well as electrical damage
during a fault condition.
Copperclad steel has virtually no scrap value, greatly reducing the potential of theft.
Construction
Dead Soft Annealed (DSA) Copperclad Steel (CCS) conductors are a concentric lay-stranded construction. The CCS strands are a 40% conductivity grade of material using a low carbon steel core
rendering greater flexibility to enable easier handling during installation
Specifications
CCS bare conductors meet or exceed the following ASTM specifications:
B-193 Standard Test Method for Resistivity of Electrical Conductor Materials
B-227 Standard Specification for Hard-Drawn Copperclad Steel Wire
B-228 Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copperclad Steel Conductors
B-258 Standard Specification for Standard Nominal Diameters and Cross-Sectional Areas of AWG
Sizes of Solid Round
B-910 Standard Specification for Annealed Copperclad Steel Wire
Wires Used as Electrical Conductors
Note
The ampacity rating and the DC and AC resistance of the Copperclad Steel wire conductor is not
equivalent to that of copper conductor.
To select the correct equivalent please see Diameter Comparison for Copper Equivalent Fusing
Current for Grounding Applications.

Application
Overhead ground wire, shield wire protecting transmission lines against lightning damage.
Construction
Alumoclad steel wire and strand is used by power utilities as well as formed wire and optical
ground wire manufacturers. alumoclad steel wire outlasts other options by as much as 200% in corrosive environments, significantly lowering maintenance and replacement costs. When compared
to solid aluminum wire, alumoclad steel wire offers tremendous savings.
Alumoclad steel wire overhead ground wire has excellent corrosion resistance. Its strength and conductivity remain unchanged in any atmosphere where aluminum is satisfactory, especially those
known to be corrosive from industrial or atmospheric conditions.
This assurance against corrosion is obtained through the application of a thick covering of pure aluminum which provides a substantial barrier of protective metal. The minimum cladding thickness of
alumoclad steel wire is 10% of the radius of the wire. the cladding has a continuous, strong metallic
bond to the steel core that will not crack or flake.
Alumoclad steel wire also provides strength greater than or equal to other overhead ground wires.
For commonly used wire sizes, the tensile strength of the individual wire can approach 200,000
pounds per square inch. When used in a strand for overhead ground wire, this high strength permits greater span lengths, less sag and heavier loads under storm loading conditions.
Directly related to strength and sag performance is the lighter weight of alumoclad steel wire. Due
to its thick cladding of aluminum, alumoclad steel wire is 15% lighter that a steel strand of equivalent size. This lighter weight, combined with high strength, permits alumoclad steel wire to be installed to the same sags as steel with correspondingly lower tensions and tower stresses on the
towers or supporting structures.

Construction
Type M alumoclad guy strand is an economical, corrosion resistant buying material for use on overhead line structures. The thick cladding of aluminum on each wire protects the high-strength steel
core from rusting and subsequent loss of strength. Costly maintenance is eliminated and the original safety factor of the guy is maintained throughout the life of the line.
The alumoclad steel wire used to make Type M guy strand is unique in that the aluminum cladding
thickness is guaranteed to be no less than 10% of the wire radius. Thus, a thick corrosion barrier that
is pure aluminum not zinc or and iron-aluminum alloy protects the steel core.
Another important feature of any coated or clad wire is the bond between the coating material and
the base metal. In the case of alumoclad steel wire, the aluminum cladding and steel core are joined
by a continuous ductile weld. This assures against cracking or separating of the protective aluminum form the steel core.
Type M alumoclad steel wire guy strand is easily handled and installed. It weighs less than any of
the other high-strength guying materials.

ACSR

Construction
Aluminum alloy 1350-H-19 wires, concentrically stranded about a steel core. Core wire for ACSR is
available with class A, B, or C galvanizing; aluminized aluminum coated (AZ); or aluminum-clad
(AW). Additional corrosion protection is available through the application of grease to the corer or
infusion of the complete cable with grease.
Specifications
ACSR bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes
B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
B-502 Aluminum-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AW)
B-498 Zinc-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
B-500 Zinc Coated and Aluminum Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel
Reinforced (ACSR)
Notes
Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of
52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz.
Current ratings are based on 75C conductor temperature, 25C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft
sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.

ACSS

Construction
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the
conductor with one or more layers of aluminum 1350-0 wire stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to the (fully annealed or soft) temper
aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by galvanizing, aluminizing, or mischmetal
alloy coating. Corrosion protection should be selected to suit the environment to which the conductor will be exposed. High strength steel core is also available.
Standards
ACSS conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
B500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers for Electrical Purposes.
B802 Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors,
Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
B803 High-Strength Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.
B856 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Supported (ACSS).
B958 Extra-High-Strength and Ultra-High-Strength Class A Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal AlloyCoated Steel Core
Wire for Use in Overhead Electrical Conductors.

Applications
Used for overhead distribution and transmission lines. Designed to operate continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250C without loss of strength. It sags less under emergency electrical
loadings than ASCR; it is self-damping if prestretched during installation, and the final sags are not
affected by long term creep of aluminum. The advantages make ACSS especially useful in reconductoring applications requiring increased current with existing tensions and clearances, new line
applications where structures can be economized because of reduced conductor sag, new line applications requiring high emergency loadings, and lines where aeolian vibration is a problem.

AAAC 6201 Alloy

Construction
Standard 6201-T81 high strength aluminum conductors, conforming to ASTM Specification B-399,
are concentric-lay stranded, similar in construction and appearance to 1350 grade aluminum conductors. Standard 6201 alloy conductors were developed to fill the need for an economical conductor for overhead applications requiring higher strength than that obtainable with 1350 grade
aluminum conductors, but without a steel core. The DC resistance at 20C of the 6201-T81 conductors and of the standard ACSRs of the same diameter are approximately the same. Conductors of
the 6201-T81 alloys are harder and, therefore, have a greater resistance to abrasion than conductors
of 1350-H19 grade aluminum.
Specifications
AAAC bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
B-398 Aluminum Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes
B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors.
Notes
Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of
52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz.
Current ratings are based on 75C conductor temperature, 25C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft
sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption

TRANSMISSION.&
DISTRIBUTION CABLES

Applications
Used as bare overhead transmission cable and as primary and secondary distribution cable. A good
strength-to-weight ratio makes ACAR applicable where both ampacity and strength are prime considerations in line design; for equal weight, ACAR offers higher strength and ampacity than ACSR.

TP
Twisted Pair

Construction
TP Conductor is composed of two identical bare conductors twisted together with a left-hand lay.
This gives the cable a rectangular spiral shape. This spiral shape disrupts the forces created by
steady cross winds which cause cable vibration, by presenting a continuously changing projected
cable diameter to the wind. This spiral shape, together with less torsional stiffness and varying
bending stiffness also reduces or eliminates cable galloping due to combined ice and wind loads.
The component conducts of TP can be conductor types AAC, AAAC, ACAR, ACSR, AAC/TW or
ACSR/TW meeting the requirements of the appropriate ASTM standards.
Specifications
TP Conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications for the subconductor of each assembly:
B-911/B-911M for Twisted Pair Conductor
B-231 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-Lay Stranded.
B-232 Aluminum Conductor, Concentric-Lay Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR).
B-399 Concentric-Lay Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors.
B-524 Concentric-Lay Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Aluminum Alloy Reinforced (ACAR,
1350/6201)
B-779 Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced
(ACSR/TW.)
Notes
Resistance is calculated using ASTM standard increments of stranding and metal conductivity of
52.5% IACS, AC resistance at 60Hz.
Current ratings are based on 75C conductor temperature, 25C ambient, 2ft/s wind, 96/watts/sq.ft
sun, .05 coefficients of emissivity and absorption.

APPLICATION
Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR/TW)
is designed for use as a bare overhead conductor. There are two designs of ACSR/TW. One design
gives an equal area of aluminum when compared to the standard ACSR conductor sizes. The other
design gives an overall outside diameter equal to standard ACSR conductor sizes. Use of this conductor in the equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when compared with standard ACSR conductor. Use of this conductor in the equal diameter design allows
more ampacity in an equal diameter conductor when compared with standard ACSR conductor.

ACSS/TW

CONSTRUCTION
ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. Steel strands form the central core of the
conductor with one or more layers of 63% minimum average conductivity aluminum 1350-0 wire
stranded around it. The steel core carries most or all of the mechanical load of the conductor due to
the "0" (fully annealed or soft) temper aluminum. Steel core wires are protected from corrosion by a
zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy coating. High strength steel core, aluminized, and aluminum
clad steel core is also available.
SPECIFICATIONS
B500 Metallic Coated Stranded Steel Core for Aluminum Conductors, Steel Reinforced.
B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes.
B802 Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum Conductors,
Steel Reinforced.
B803 High-Strength Zinc-5% Aluminum-Mischmetal Alloy-Coated Steel Core Wire for Aluminum
and Aluminum-Alloy Conductors, Steel Reinforced.
B856 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated Steel Supported (ACSS)
B857 Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductors, Coated-Steel Supported (ACSS/TW).
NOTES
1)Data based on a nominal cable manufactured in accordance with ASTM B 857.
2)Resistance and ampacity based on an aluminum conductivity of 63% IACS at 20C and a steel
conductivity of 8% IACS at 20C.
3)Ampacity based on referenced conductor temperature, 25C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec wind,
in sun, with an emmisivity of 0.5 and a coefficient of solar absorption of 0.5, at sea level.
4)Rated breaking strength for standard core based on Class A zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy
coated steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 802.
5)Rated strength for high strength core based on Class A zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy
coated high strength steel core wire in accordance with ASTM B 803.
6)The final design of a shaped wire compact conductor is contingent upon several factors such as:
layer diameter, wire width and wire thickness. The actual configuration of a given size may vary
between manufacturers. This may result in a slight variation in the number of wires, number of
layers and dimensions of individual wires from that shown in the chart.

TRANSMISSION.&
DISTRIBUTION CABLES

APPLICATIONS
ACSS/TW is designed for overhead distribution and transmission lines. It is designed to operate
continuously at elevated temperatures up to 250C without loss of strength, it sags less under emergency electrical loadings than ACSR/TW, excellent self-damping properties, and its final sags are
not affected by long-term creep of aluminum. ACSS/TW is available in equal area and equal diameter design. The equal area design allows equal ampacity in a smaller diameter conductor when
compared with a standard ACSS conductor. The equal diameter design allows more ampacity in an
equal diameter conductor when compared with a standard ACSS conductor. ACSS/TW also provides many design opportunities for new line construction: i.e., reduced tower cost, decreased sag,
increased self-damping properties, increased operating temperature and improved corrosion resistance.

Application
Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where limited space is available or desirable for rights of way. Installed as an
uninsulated conductor; however, covering is effective in preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers should tree limbs or other
objects contact conductors in such close proximity. The resulting close-proximity configuration minimizes the amount of space and
hardware required for line installation; particularly useful in congested areas such as alleyways or tight corridors.

Application
Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where limited space is available or desirable for rights of way. Installed as an
uninsulated conductor; however, covering is effective in preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers should tree limbs or other
objects contact conductors in such close proximity. The resulting close-proximity configuration minimizes the amount of space and
hardware required for line installation; particularly useful in congested areas such as alleyways or tight corridors.

Application
Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where limited space is available or desirable for rights of way. Installed as an
uninsulated conductor; however, covering is effective in preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers should tree limbs or other
objects contact conductors in such close proximity. The resulting close-proximity configuration minimizes the amount of space and
hardware required for line installation; particularly useful in congested areas such as alleyways or tight corridors.

TowerGuard CCA Power Cable


2kV UL RHH/RHW-2 Copperclad Aluminum Conductor/90C Wet or Dry
For Cable Tray Use Sunlight Resistant For Direct Burial
U.S. Patent No. 8,618,688

Construction
Nominal voltage: RHH/RHW-2 2000V UL
Conductor: The conductor shall be a flexible
Copperclad Aluminum (CCA), an electrical conductor that has an outer sleeve of copper metallurgically bonded to a solid aluminum core. The
combination of these two metals makes it
uniquely suited to many electrical applications
where weights to electrical conductivity issues
are important. This bimetallic wire is much
lighter than copper and only slightly heavier
than bare aluminum. The density of CCA is
about 35% lighter than copper. CCA conducts
like copper for AC frequencies. This product
meets or exceeds the minimum requirements
set forth in ASTM B 566 04.
Separator: A suitable tape separator between
the conductor and insulation.
Insulation: Ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR)
type EP, meeting UL and ICEA requirements for
90C.
Jacket: A heavy duty, thermosetting CPE in accordance with ICEA S-95-658 NEMA WC70
Jacket Color: Black
Print Legend: TOWERGUARD CCA SIZE AWG

LOW VOLTAGE CABLES

Applications
This cable is intended for fixed installation in
wind turbine towers. Good resistance to temperatures, oils, ozone and fire. This cable is intended for use in solar power generation
applications to connect the inverter to transformer where high flexibility is required, commonly applied to prefabricated inverter and
transformer skids. Additionally, this cable is appropriate for tight battery applications, as well
as superior alternatives to battery cable. TowerGuard CCA can also be used for secondary voltage resistance welding leads and in power
supply applications not exceeding 2000V volts.
Not commonly for use on DC power circuits,
please consult AWG for your applications.

Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231.
Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Extruded, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S94-649 - 100% insulation level.
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced.
Water Block: Water-blocking agents applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires
to resist longitudinal water penetration. Longitudinal water penetration shall be tested in accordance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1
hour.
Jacket: Black insulating sunlight resistant linear low-density polyethylene encapsulating the neutral
wires with three extruded red stripes and NESC lightning bolt symbol.

1) Extruded layer thicknesses and insulation and insulation shield diameters are in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for concentric neutral cables rated 5-46 kV and also meet the requirements of the latest revisions
of AEIC CS8. Dimensions and weights not designated as minimum or maximum are nominal values and are subject to manufacturing tolerances.
2) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90C-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 105C, and 36" depth of burial.
3) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90 C-cm/W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 105C, and 36" depth of burial.
4) UL Type MV-105 PowerGuard-XL is rated MV-105 in accordance with the UL 1072 Standard. It should be noted that utilizing a 105 C normal operating conductor temperature will increase cable ampacity rating but
will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105C conductor temperature for normal operation and 140C for emergency overload, please contact American Wire Group
for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conductor temperature and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.

1) Extruded layer thicknesses and insulation and insulation shield diameters are in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for concentric neutral cables rated 5-46 kV and also meet the requirements of the latest revisions
of AEIC CS8. Dimensions and weights not designated as minimum or maximum are nominal values and are subject to manufacturing tolerances.
2) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90C-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 105C, and 36" depth of burial.
3) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90 C-cm/W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 105C, and 36" depth of burial.
4) UL Type MV-105 PowerGuard-XL is rated MV-105 in accordance with the UL 1072 Standard. It should be noted that utilizing a 105 C normal operating conductor temperature will increase cable ampacity rating but
will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105C conductor temperature for normal operation and 140C for emergency overload, please contact American Wire Group
for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conductor temperature and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.

PowerGuard 5kV-35kV Copper 3-Conductor TR-XLPE Tape Shield


w/Ground PVC Jacket UL MV-105/AEIC CS8-07
Applications
Medium voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods.
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart.
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231.
Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation
Insulation: Extruded, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for
phase identification - 1C w/Red, 1C w/Blue, and 1C w/None.
Grounding Conductors: Three bare stranded copper conductor, one in each interstice.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket tightly applied over the binder tape.

NOTES:
Ampacities are based on three phase operation
In Duct (2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 90C conductor temperature, 20C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor,
and shields short-circuited.
Isolated in Air (2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 90C conductor temperature,
and 40C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only.
In Cable Tray: Per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b), for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, installed in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable ampacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(72) (Aluminum), Isolated in Air values noted above.

PowerGuard 5kV-35kV Aluminum 3-Conductor TR-XLPE Tape Shield


w/Ground PVC Jacket UL MV-105/AEIC CS8-07
Applications
Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods.
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart.
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried.
Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231.
Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation
Insulation: Extruded, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for
phase identification - 1C w/Red, 1C w/Blue, and 1C w/None.
Grounding Conductors: Three bare stranded copper conductor, one in each interstice.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket tightly applied over the binder tape.

NOTES:
Ampacities are based on three Phase Operation
In Duct (2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 90C conductor temperature, 20C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor,
and shields short-circuited.
Isolated in Air (2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 90C conductor temperature,
and 40C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only.
In Cable Tray: Per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b), for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, installed in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable ampacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.15(B)(72) (Aluminum), Isolated in Air values noted above.

PowerGuard Armored 5kV-35kV Copper 3/C with Copper Ground Wire


TR-XLPE Insulation Copper Tape Shield AIA
PVC Jacket UL Type MV-105 or MC, AEIC CS8
Applications
Armored Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to
labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded
in concrete
Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded copper conductor. Optional water-blocking.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation
Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in
ANSI/ICEA S-94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap
Ground Wire: Three bare copper ground wires placed at the interstice of the conductor.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Armor: Aluminum Interlocked Armor applied over the binder tape of the cable core
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket

NOTES:
The above dimensions are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
Ampacities are based on the following: Three Phase Operation In Duct (2011 NEC Table
310.60(C)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 105C conductor temperature,
20C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor, and shields shortcircuited. Isolated in Air (2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 105C conductor
temperature, and 40C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only. In Cable
Tray: per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b)3, for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, installed in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable ampacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72) (Aluminum), Isolated in Air values noted above.
Insulated cables are capable of operating at 105C. However, the maximum operating temperature of the cable should be based on the maximum operating temperature of the cable accessories to be used.

PowerGuard Armored 5kV-35kV Aluminum 3/C with Copper Ground Wire


TR-XLPE Insulation Copper Tape Shield AIA
PVC Jacket UL Type MV-105 or MC, AEIC CS8
Applications
Armored Medium-Voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to
labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not
more than six feet apart
Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded
in concrete
Construction
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231.
Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation
Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in
ANSI/ICEA S-94-649
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield:The metallic shield is flat uncoated 5-mil thick copper tape helically applied with
minimum 20% overlap
Ground Wire: Three bare copper ground wires placed at the interstice of the conductor.
Fillers: Non hydroscopic fillers, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.
Binder Tape: A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Armor: Aluminum Interlocked Armor applied over the binder tape of the cable core
Jacket: Black, sunlight resistant, flame retardant PVC jacket

NOTES:
The above dimensions are approximate and subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
Ampacities are based on the following: Three Phase Operation In Duct (2011 NEC Table
310.60(C)(80): Three-conductor cable in plastic duct, direct-buried, 105C conductor temperature,
20C ambient temperature, earth RHO of 90C-cm/Watt, and 100% load factor, and shields shortcircuited. Isolated in Air (2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72)): Three-conductor cable, 105C conductor
temperature, and 40C ambient temperature, and shields grounded at one point only. In Cable
Tray: per 2011 NEC 392.80(B)(1)(b)3, for single conductor cables, sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, installed in a single layer in an uncovered table tray, with a maintained space of not less than one
cable diameter between individual conductors, the ampacities shall not exceed the allowable ampacities stated in 2011 NEC Table 310.60(C)(72) (Aluminum), Isolated in Air values noted above.
Insulated cables are capable of operating at 105C. However, the maximum operating temperature of the cable should be based on the maximum operating temperature of the cable accessories to be used.

Continuously Corrugated Welded Armored Power Cable


FR-XLP Insulation (XHHW-2), 600V/1kV
Type MC-HL 1/C
Application
All cables produced to this specification are recognized by the NEC as 600 Volt Type MC-HL and are
suitable for use as described in the code. The conductor temperatures are rated for continuous operation of 90C, for emergency overload of 130C and for short circuit of 250C. The cables meet the
requirements for application in NEC Class I , Class II and Class III, Div. 1 and 2, Hazardous Locations
covered under NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503. The cables are intended for use in industrial applications where aluminum armor protection is necessary. The continuously welded sheath serves to
provide a completely moisture impervious barrier for the core as well as providing superior electro
static shielding characteristics. The cables may be used in wet or dry applications, installed in racks,
trays or aerially.
These cables have an overall jacket and can be direct buried in earth and buried in concrete.
Three conductor cables are manufactured in accordance with industry accepted practice of using
three symmetrically placed grounds making them advantageous for use in pulse-width modulated
cables and variable frequency drive applications.

ARMORED CABLES

Construction
This specification covers single and multi-conductor power cables insulated with flame retardant
crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). The insulated conductors cabled with a ground wire or wires, and
the assembly are encased in a moisture impervious continuously welded corrugated aluminum
armor, and covered with a protective jacket overall. Three conductor type cables are constructed for
VFD applications.

Continuously Corrugated Welded Armored Power Cable


FR-XLP Insulation (XHHW-2), 600V/1kV
Type MC-HL 2/C
Application
All cables produced to this specification are recognized by the NEC as 600 Volt Type MC-HL and are
suitable for use as described in the code. The conductor temperatures are rated for continuous operation of 90C, for emergency overload of 130C and for short circuit of 250C. The cables meet the
requirements for application in NEC Class I, Class II and Class III, Div. 1 and 2, Hazardous Locations
covered under NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503. The cables are intended for use in industrial applications where aluminum armor protection is necessary. The continuously welded sheath serves to
provide a completely moisture impervious barrier for the core as well as providing superior electro
static shielding characteristics. The cables may be used in wet or dry applications, installed in racks,
trays or aerially.
These cables have an overall jacket and can be direct buried in earth and buried in concrete.
Three conductor cables are manufactured in accordance with industry accepted practice of using
three symmetrically placed grounds making them advantageous for use in pulse-width modulated
cables and variable frequency drive applications.

Continuously Corrugated Welded Armored Power Cable


FR-XLP Insulation (XHHW-2), 600V/1kV
Type MC-HL 5/C
Application
All cables produced to this specification are recognized by the NEC as 600 Volt Type MC-HL and are
suitable for use as described in the code. The conductor temperatures are rated for continuous operation of 90C, for emergency overload of 130C and for short circuit of 250C. The cables meet the
requirements for application in NEC Class I, Class II and Class III, Div. 1 and 2, Hazardous Locations
covered under NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503. The cables are intended for use in industrial applications where aluminum armor protection is necessary. The continuously welded sheath serves to
provide a completely moisture impervious barrier for the core as well as providing superior electro
static shielding characteristics. The cables may be used in wet or dry applications, installed in racks,
trays or aerially.
These cables have an overall jacket and can be direct buried in earth and buried in concrete.
Three conductor cables are manufactured in accordance with industry accepted practice of using
three symmetrically placed grounds making them advantageous for use in pulse-width modulated
cables and variable frequency drive applications.

Construction
This specification covers single and multi-conductor power cables insulated with flame retardant
crosslinked polyethylene (XLP). The insulated conductors cabled with a ground wire or wires, and
the assembly are encased in a moisture impervious continuously welded corrugated aluminum
armor, and covered with a protective jacket overall. Three conductor type cables are constructed for
VFD applications.
Conductors - The conductors consist of uncoated soft, copper strands meeting the requirements of
ASTM B3. Unless otherwise specified the conductors are supplied as compact round per ASTM
B496.
Insulation - The insulation is flame-retardant crosslinked polyethylene (XHHW-2) extruded concentrically over the conductor to the wall thickness for Type XHHW-2 as specified in the relevant governing specification.
Conductor Coding - Phase identification is provided by number code on each insulated conductor.
Ground Wire - Three stranded bare copper ground wires located in each of the outer interstices for 3
conductor cables, one in one of the interstices for 2 or 4 conductor cables, or helically applied concentric wires for single conductor cables. The total ground wire cross section in all cases meets the
minimum UL requirements for ground size.
Assembly - Conductors and ground wire are cabled together with a left hand lay and suitable fillers
make the cable round. A binder tape is applied.
Armor - Over the taped assembly there is continuously welded corrugated aluminum armor.
Jacket - A protective sunlight and ozone resistant PVC or low smoke halogen free (LSHF) polyolefin
jacket is extruded for a tight fit over the interlocked armor.

This color code system employs six (6) different base colors alternating through a series of 21 conductors. In this series, the last 15 conductors are marked with tracers of contrasting colors. The
color sequence is repeated in regular sequence as necessary for cable configurations employing
more than twenty-one (21) conductors.

Wire & Cable


Methods of Color Coding
Used to identify conductors for point-to-point wiring and for circuit diagrams. Color codes are used to establish a standard for use by different manufacturers.
The first color code used colored tracers in a solid colored braid. Most control cable color codes are adaptations of this method. Later, for
ease and convenience, ink printed versions were developed.
Telephone requirements established special color codes.
Color Codes (ICEA Methods)
ICEA/NEMA Method 1
Colored insulation with contrasting ink tracers as required. Six
different insulation colors and four different colored ink tracers are used to provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The same identification sequence is repeated for
cables containing more than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 2
A neutral colored compound is used with single or double spiral ink tracers as required to provide positive identification
through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated
for cables containing more than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 3
A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink
printed with both conductor number and color designation to
provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The
identification sequence is repeated for colors containing more
than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 4
A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink
printed with conductor number to provide positive conductor
identification through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated for cables containing more than 21 conductors.

ICEA/NEMA Method 5
A color coding using braids. Also sometimes specified using
colored insulation and contrasting tracers as an extension of
Method I to eliminate duplicate conductors. Up to 127 positive
conductor coding are available with this method. Usually
specified as per: ICEA5-61-402 Table 5-1 or ICEA 5-19-81 Table
5-2.
ICEA/NEMA Method 6
A color coding whereby one conductor in each layer is identified by a braid, tape, ridge, stripe or color.
ICEA/NEMA Paired Color Code
A coding whereby one leg of all pairs is coded white and its
mate is coded in accordance with the first 21 conductors of
Method 1, omitting white and repeating the sequence as necessary.
Telephone Paired Color Code
Five colors are paired with each of five mate colors to give 25
identified pairs. The color sequences are repeated for more
than 25 pairs using colored binder strings for group identification.

Note: UL and the NEC restrict the use of green and white as colors and stripes. Special color codes are available to meet these requirements. One method is
ICEA Method E-2 which is similar to Method 1 and ICEA Method E-4 which is similar to Method 2.

OPGW Optical Ground Wire


Applications
OPGW cable is suited for installation on transmission lines with the double function of a ground wire
(designed to replace traditional static or shield wires) and a communication wire. OPGW conducts
short circuit current and provide lightning resistance as it shields conductors, while providing a
telecommunications path for internal as well as third party communications. OPGW must be capable
of withstanding the mechanical and environmental stresses inflicted on overhead cables (such those
caused by wind or ice). OPGW must also be capable of handling electrical faults on the transmission
line by providing a path to ground yet preventing damage to the delicate optical fibers inside the cable.
OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) with a stainless steel central tube is preferred for its compact size and
ability to house up to 72 fibers in a diameter starting at only 12mm. Its small profile offers an exceptional solution to the diameter and weight concerns on many of todays overloaded transmission
towers where an existing shield wire needs to be replaced with an OPGW cable.
Construction
OPGW cable has two constructions:
Central loose tube type:The fibers are placed loosely in a sealed and water resistant central, aluminum tube filled with water blocking gel. This tube provides protection to the fiber during installation and operation under severe environmental conditions. The stainless steel tube may also be
aluminum-clad steel depending on the engineering requirements. The stainless optical tube is located at the center of the cable protected by single or multiple layers of aluminum clad steel, aluminum alloy wires, or steel wires. The metallic wires provide mechanical strength to withstand
severe installation and operating conditions, while achieving conductivity to control temperature
rise during short circuit conditions.
Each optical fiber is clearly distinguishable utilizing a fiber identification system consisting of coloring and the number of ring marks on it. This compact design features high mechanical strength and
fault current rating within a smaller diameter. The smaller diameter also results in excellent sag tension performance.
Multi loose tube type: The fibers is placed loosely in a sealed and water resistant stainless steel
tube filled with water blocking gel. Two or three stainless steel optical tubes are helically stranded in
the inner layer of a multiple-layer cable. The multi loose tube type is designed mostly for very high
fiber count requirement over 48 with the maximum fiber count reaching 144. The multi loose tube
type can meet the requirement of huge cross and large current capacity.
The optical fiber is made of high pure silica and germanium doped silica. UV curable acrylate material is applied over fiber cladding as optical fiber primary protective coating. The detail data of optical fiber performance are shown in the following table.
Optical fiber uses special spun device successfully controlled the value of PMD, and makes sure
that it can keep stable in cabling.
IEC 61232 Aluminum clad steel wire for electrical purposes
IEC 60104 Aluminum magnesium-silicon alloy
wire for overhead line conductors
IEC 61089 Round wire concentric lay overhead

Fiber is Corning SMF-28e+ Optical Fiber

Notes
Reel lengths must be defined at time of purchase to assist client with reducing waste, and
to reduce splicing required during installation.

Installation Manual for OPGW Cable


This handbook is formulated on IEEE 1138-2008 and IEEE 524-1992 etc.
OPGW has two functions: electric aerial ground wire and fiber communication.
It is constituted of AS wire, AA wire and stainless steel tube op-unit. The installation rules of OPGW
are almost the same as the engineering and installation modes of traditional aerial electric power
wire, referring to electric power company's aerial transmit circuitry installation skills, management
and other related files. In order to guarantee the installation of OPGW and avoid the waste of personnel and material resources, we compile this handbook as the reference, not instead of any other
manufacturers' installation instructions.
OPGW is usually installed on the top of pole of the electric power aerial wire. The following disadvantages should be considered: vibration caused by wind, hurricane, ice thickness, unsteady operation caused by temperature, and possible thunder attack, short circuit ere. Therefore, detailed
engineering program should be formulated according to different structures of OPGW and specific
route conditions. According to design requirement, OPGW should be allotted correctly; every tray of
optical fiber cable should he installed in the appointed part of route and should be laid according to
engineering chart operation file.

HARDWARE TESTS
The IEEE 1138 Test Standard for OPGW includes a series of tests that require suitable hardware to
demonstrate system performance. System tests include Tensile Strength, Vibration Test, and Galloping Tests among others. System tests require dead-ends and suspensions that can survive the test
parameters and prove cable/hardware compatibility.

ADSS
All Dielectric Self-Supporting
Fiber Optic Cable
Applications
The All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cables are designed for aerial self-supporting applications at short, medium and long span distances. ADSS cables offer a rapid and economical means
for deploying optical fiber cables along existing aerial rights-of-way. They are being deployed by
cable television operators, telephone companies, municipalities and emerging network operators,
in addition to electric power utilities.
Construction
The ADSS cable consists of a number of tubes/elements according to the specified number of
fibers. The elements are usually fiber-containing tubes; however fillers may be used to preserve the
cable geometry. Two to twelve color-coded fibers are loosely laid in each tube which is filled with a
water-blocking gel. The tubes are stranded around a dielectric central strength member and bound
in a jacket. A water-swelling tape is helically wrapped around the cable core. Aramid yarn strength
members are helically laid to supply peripheral strengthening of the cable. The outer jacket is tightly
bound over the aramid yarn layer. For long span applications a double jacket design can be considered. A ripcord is located under each jacket layer to facilitate its removal. For up to 30 fiber cables,
the ADSB design is applicable, for 32-144 fibers the ADSC design is applicable. Dry cable designs, ballistic protection and other cable designs are available upon request..
Standards
Cables are designed for aerial installation according to IEEE-P1 222
Cables tested according to TIA/EIA-455 and IEC-60794-1.
Cables meet or exceed Telcordia (Bellcore) requirements for outside plant cables (GR-20) when the
appropriate options are chosen.
Default Jacket Colors
PE HFFR SM Fibers Black Yellow MM Fibers Black Orange
Other jacket colors may be available, please specify.
Sag Chart
Below are the coefficients for a standard ADSS cable containing 32 to 60 fibers in 5 tubes with a single outer jacket. The cable can be used in a span of 450 feet with NESC light conditions, 300 feet for
NESC medium and 240 feet for NESC heavy conditions.
Cross section area 0.196 in^2
Outside diameter 0.5 in
Unit weight 0.081 lbs/ft
Ultimate tension 5800 lbs
The following values are calculated at 68F
Final modulus of elasticity 3248850 psi
Thermal expansion coefficient -2.78e-7F
Stress strain A1 2973280 psi

Water-blocking material

Ripcord

Application
Single jacket loose tube cable with a dielectric central strength member, reinforced with glass yarns and polyethylene jacket, designed for outdoor applications, for direct installations in duct. The cable is supplied in UV resistant high
density polyethylene (HDPE) duct.
Construction
Up to 12 optical fibers are enclosed in a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
tubes.
Up to 24 tubes are stranded around jacketed dielectric central member together with PE fillers to form the cable core.
The fibers and tubes are color coded for easy identification.
All the interstices in the cable core are filled with a water blocking materials to
prevent water penetration. Water swelling glass yarns are laid over the cable
core to serve as peripheral dielectric strength members.
A polyethylene jacket extruded over the glass yarns provides the final cable
shape and protection. A ripcord is provided under the jacket to facilitate its removal.
The cable is inserted into UV resistant high density polyethylene duct for wide
range of uses including extreme temperatures, abrasive and high tension applications in underground installations.

Receiving and Handling Cable


In order to benefit from investing in underground cable (power
cable), the purchaser should put into practice a complete visual inspection program that will help identify any cable that is damaged
during shipment. If any cable is undesirable, it is then returned to
the manufacturer instead of being installed. By recognizing and refusing damaged cable, one can considerably improve the dependability of the underground system.

Receipt of Cable Reels


Once the purchaser has received the cable shipments, they should
carry out an approval inspection. A cable approval inspection involves some straightforward and low-cost steps that can yield significant dividends.
The following steps should be taken to insure proper acceptance of
cable:
1. Visually check for shipment damage
Visually check cable reels for any damage that may have taken
place during delivery. The purchaser should be mainly worried for
cable damage if:
a. A reel is laying flat on its side, especially if it is a large conductor size, such as 500 kcm, 750 kcm, or 1,000 kcm
b. Numerous reels are piled on top of each other
c. Other cargo is piled on the reel
d. Nails have been driven into the overhang to prevent overcrowding
e. A reel overhang is broken
f. A cable covering is detached, discolored, or broken
g. A cable end seal is detached or broken (a broken or absent end
seal means that moisture may have come into the cable)
h. A reel has fallen (concealed damage likely)
2. Inspect reel tags
Visually check each reel to assure that it has the correct tags and labels as noted in the specifications. The reel should contain the subsequent minimum information:
a. Purchasers name and address
b. Purchase order number
c. Conductor size and type
d. Insulation thickness and type
e. Jacket type
f. Quantity of cable on reel
g. Beginning and ending sequential footage numbers present on
the jacket
Confirm that the cable description, reel size, and cable footage are
equivalent to that specified. Any missing information should be acquired from the manufacturer.
3. Check dimensional tolerances
Make a straightforward measurement of the cable dimensions on
one reel of each size of cable in a shipment to prove that the cables
dimensions meet the requirement.

Handling of Cable Reels


To guarantee that material handling equipment does not touch or
interfere with cable surfaces or with protective covering on the reel,
the utmost care should be taken when moving the cable reels. It is
very important that cable reels not be dropped from any height, or
be allowed to roll unrestrained. Cable reels should be moved or
lifted using the technique depicted at the end of this document.

Wire & Cable:


Handling and Installation Engineering Guide
1. For cranes, booms, or other overhead lifting equipment, a
sturdy steel arbor or heavy rod or pipe should be placed in
through the reel hubs so that the cable reel can be lifted by
slings that make the most of spreader bars. This technique will
assure that sling pressure against a reel flange, slanting of the
reel, sliding of the sling, and other unstable situation will be reduced.
2. When lifting reels by fork truck type equipment, reels should
only be lifted from the sides, and only if the blades of the fork
truck are long enough to support both flanges. This way will
make sure that the lift pressure is uniformly dispersed on both
flanges and not on the cable itself.
3. Rolling reels containing cables should be kept to a minimum; if
rolling is necessary, reels should always be rolled in the direction indicated by the arrows on the sides of the reel flanges or
in the opposite direction to which the cable is wrapped onto the
reel. Rolling the reels this way will avoid the release of the cable
wraps, which may lead to problems during installation.
4. It is important that any debris be cleared from the path over
which the cable reels are to be rolled since that might damage
the cable if the reels were to roll over it. Cable reels should be
rolled in the direction of the Roll This Way arrow and lowered
in a controlled manner. The ramps should be spaced far enough
apart so that they are touching the reel flanges at all times.
Storage of Cable Reels
Cable reels should not be stored on their sides if at all possible.
To prevent deterioration of the reels and moisture seeping into the
cables, it is preferable to store cable reels indoors on a hard, dry
surface.
If cable reels are stored outdoors they must be supported off the
ground and protected with a suitable weatherproof material. The
reel supports should be at least twice the width of the reel flange,
long enough to provide a sufficient load bearing surface (to prevent sinking), and high enough to prevent the reel from sitting in
free standing water in case of rain. Reel supports should be placed
under each reel flange, and to prevent rolling each reel should be
placed between the reel flange and the support at opposite sides of
the flange.
All cable reels should be stored in such a way so as to allow easy
access for lifting and moving, away from construction activities,
falling or lying objects, sources of high heat, open flames, chemicals or petroleum products, etc. that may cause damage to the
cable. It is also recommended to use fences or any other suitable
barriers to protect cables and reels against damage by vehicles or
other moving equipment in the storage area.
If the cable is stored on reels for future use after the factory applied
end caps are removed, the exposed cable ends MUST be re-sealed
using properly applied weatherproof end caps or by taping the
ends with a tape designed to prevent moisture. PVC tapes or Duct
Tape are not appropriate for preventing moisture. One must secure
the loose ends of the cable reels to the reel flange and cannot lie
on the ground.
Reels and end caps should be inspected from time to time if they
will be stored outside for a long period of time. A once a month inspection is suitable at first but one should consider increasing this
if storage time is extended since wooden reels tend to deteriorate
over time and sealed end caps will lose their usefulness. Rates of
deterioration will vary depending on the environment in which the
reels are stored.

NOTE: If a specific method of shipping is used, such as shipping to


a job site, etc., the manufacturer must be notified of these special
requirements.

Installation Suggestions
Below you will find a general guide for the installation of shielded
and unshielded cables, jacketed cables rated 600 to 35,000 volts in
conduit, underground ducts, racks, trays or direct buried.
Safety Measures Prior to Pulling Cable
Temperature Considerations
It is important to consider that low temperatures create handling
and pulling difficulties of varying degrees, depending on cable construction and installation location. Most cables can be safely handled if not subjected to temperatures lower than -10C (14F) in the
twenty-four (24) hour period prior to pulling and bending the cable.
If temperatures do fall below these values during the following 24
hour period, measures should be taken to transport the cable to a
warm storage area. The cable should be exposed to a temperature
of 15C (60F) for 24 hours to ensure warm-up. Pulling eyes, if necessary, should be set up. If the cable is installed during cold
weather conditions, cable should be pulled more slowly and
trained in place the same day it is removed from the warm storage
area. The cable should also not be dropped or bent if cold outside.
Duct Sizing
Select duct size in such a way that the difference between the hoop
diameter of the cable(s) and the inside diameter of the duct will not
be less than . Also check that the cross-sectional area of the cable
is not more than the percentage of the interior cross-sectional area
of the conduit, as recommended by the National Electric Code
(NEC). In addition, consider using larger ducts or additional pull
boxes if long pulls are required.
Jam Ratio
Jamming might occur in bends if three cables are pulled in parallel
in duct. This happens when the cables adjust from a triangular pattern to a cradled pattern as they are pulled in through the bend.
This pattern change will force the two outer cables to move farther
apart. The cables will also jam if the conduit diameter is too small
to contain the wider pattern.
To prevent this, the jam ratio should be checked. The jam ratio corresponds to the inside diameter of the duct to the cable diameter,
such that:

J=Dd
Where:
J = Jam ratio
D = Inside diameter of duct (in)
d = Outside diameter of cable (in)
The proper cable configuration can be determined if the above jam
ratio is calculated. The likely configurations are as follows:
Jam Ratio
Cable Configuration
J < 2.4
Triangular
2.4 < J < 2.6
More likely triangular
2.6 < J < 2.8
Either triangular or cradled
2.8 < J < 3.0
More likely cradles
J > 3.0
Cradled

Wire & Cable:


Handling and Installation Engineering Guide
Cable jamming tends to occur between J = 2.8 and J = 3.1. This is
true if the sidewall bearing pressure (SWBP) in a bend surpasses
the 1,000 lbs/foot.
Cable Clearance
In order to make sure that the cables can be pulled through the
conduit, specifically in applications where the National Electric
Code (NEC) limits on conduit fill do not apply, one needs to calculate the clearance between the cable(s) and conduit. The recommended calculated clearance should not be less than 0.5 inches.
However, a lesser clearance, such as 0.25 inches, may be suitable
for primarily straight pulls.
In addition, the clearance should contain the pulling eye or cable
grip, which is used for the cable pull. The formulas below can be
used to calculate the cable clearance for a single cable pull and for
a three-cable pull. (Please Note: To allow for differences in cable
and duct dimensions and ovality of the duct at bends, the nominal
cable diameter d has been increased by 5%).

calculating conduit or tubing fill. The actual dimensions of the


equipment grounding or bonding conductor (insulated or bare)
shall be used in the calculation.
The below formula can be used when a calculation must be made
to comply with the NEC fill ratio requirements:

FR = [NPC x PCD 2)2 + NGC x (GCD 2}2] (CD 2)2


Where:
FR = Fill Ratio (%)
NPC = Number of Phase Conductors with the same diameter
PCD = Diameter of Phase Conductor (in)
NGC = Number of Ground Conductors with the same diameter
GCD = Diameter of Ground Conductor (in)

M = Diameter multiplier (Please see tables on the next page(s))
Note: The above calculation applies to STATIC conditions ONLY.
Please reference the DYNAMIC conditions section below and the
Sidewall Bearing Pressure section for the minimum bending radius
of cable in motion.
Minimum Bending Radius (Dynamic Conditions)
The following formula can be used to determine the minimum values for the radii to which such cables may be bent while being
pulled into an installation and while under tension. This value will
largely depend on the tension the cable experiences as it exits the
bend. The greater the exiting tension, the greater the minimumbending radius will be for the cable.

MBR = (Te SWBP) X 12 (in)


Where:
MBR = Minimum radius of bend (in)
Te = Tension as cable exits the bend (pounds x force)
SWBP = Maximum allowable Sidewall Bearing Pressure (pounds
x force per foot of bend radius)
Cable Training (Offset bending)
You may use the following formula to determine the minimum distance necessary for permanent cable training (offset bending) in a
manhole:

L = S (4 R S)
Where:
L = Minimum distance required (in)
S = Offset (in)
R = Bending radius to cable centerline (in)

Wire & Cable:


Handling and Installation Engineering Guide

*For conductor sizes 1500kcm and larger, the minimum bending radius for
LC Shielded cable is 18X the cable diameter.

Note 1: Multiply the diameter of the cable by the factor in the table
above to attain the minimum-bending radius.
Note 2: These limits may not be appropriate for use with conduit
bends, sheaves or other curved surfaces around which the cable
may be pulled under tension while being installed due to sidewall
bearing pressure limits. The minimum radius specified refers to the
inner radius of the cable bend and not to the axis of the cable.

L
R

Allow a suitable length of straight cable at both ends of the offset


bend.

Clearing Ducts
Using a plug that is roughly the same diameter as the inside of the
duct does not permit obstructions in the duct since it pulls the plug
through the structure. After doing this, use a wire brush to clean
and remove foreign matter from the duct. In order to prevent
scratch damage to the cable jacket during pulling, it is important to
smooth the interior.

Note 1: The highest applicable multiplier should be used in all

cable, and not the axis (centerline) of the cable conduit.
Note 2: Use the thickest of the insulations of the cables within the
assembly and the diameter of the largest single cable within the
cable assembly to determine the multiplier. Afterwards, apply that
multiplier to the diameter of the overall assembly.
Note 3: The minimum values for the radii to which cables may be
bent during installation may not apply to conduit bends, sheaves
or other curved surfaces around which the cable may be pulled
under tension while being installed. Larger radii bends may be required for such conditions. (Please reference Precautions during
Cable Pulling in the Sidewall Bearing Pressure section).

Trench for Direct Burial


To prevent damage to the cable jacket during or after cable installation, the trench should be clean of sharp stone, glass, metal or
wood debris. The trench bottom should be evenly covered with a
layer of soil or sand that has been screened through a medium-tofine mesh screen to remove all larger stones or other material. This
will assure a smooth, soft-bedding surface for the cable(s). It is a
good idea to lay a protective covering on the fill about 6-8 inches
above the cable to protect it if working in an urban area or near
where a lot of digging occurs. If working under highways or railroad rights-of-way, it is also a good idea to install the cable in a
pipe or conduit to give added mechanical protection.
Rack/Trays
One should check the entire path that the cable will follow during
pulling to make sure that the cable will have a smooth ride, free of
all barriers or sharp edges. In checking this, one should consider
the position the cable will take on when under tension.
Precautions During Cable Pulling
Cable Guides
All guides should be in the form of large diameter, smooth-surfaced, free-turning sheaves or rollers to prevent damage to the
cable jacket when guiding the cable from the reel to the duct
mouth or trench. Guide tubes or chutes must be smooth, burr-free
working surfaces with the largest possible bend radii and be securely anchored if used. Mounting the cable reel in sturdy jacks,
leveling the reel shaft and lubricating the reel arbor holes with
grease will lead to low cable tension. If breaking the reel needs to
happen, it should only be done to prevent reel over-run when the
pull is slowed or stopped, or on steep downhill runs where cable
weight is enough to overcome cable-duct friction.
This information also applies for rack or tray installations. The following points should be noted when making such pulls:
1. Cable support rollers should be spaced close enough so that the
cables normal sag, even when under tension, will not result in
tray dragging.
2. The cable rollers should be contoured so that the cable will not
ride off the end of the roller or be pinched into a sheave contour diameter that is smaller than that of the cable.
3. When rollers or sheaves are used to guide the cable through the
bends, it is important that enough of them be used to guide the

Handling and Installation Engineering Guide
cable in a smooth curve of the desired radius from tangent
point to tangent point. If this is not done, the cable may be
kinked around the radius of each roller.
The cable may be paid off the reel and laid into the trench as the
reel is moved along the length of the trench in cases of direct-burial installations. When this happens, the cable is laid on a bed of
soil or sand.
If the cable needs to be pulled through the trench, the best way to
do so is to support the cable on temporary rollers so that the cable
does not drag over the soil or sand bed. If one does not have
rollers handy, sacks filled with very fine sand or other fine powdery
material may be used as an alternative to support the cable and
keep it from dragging on the trench bed during the pulling process.
Cable Lubricant
To reduce pulling tensions and damage on cables, lubricants may
be used in conduit. When using cable or pulling lubricants, one
should avoid compounds that may contain oils or greases since
they may damage the cable jackets. Also, pulling lubricants that
contain micro-spheres or micro-balls should be avoided for
medium-voltage cable installations. These kinds of lubricants are
meant to be used on low-tension pulls that are not representative
of power cable pulls.
Most commercially available pulling lubricants can be used with little worry for compatibility. But, one does need to keep in mind that
some pulling lubricants react poorly to some cable jacket compounds, which may lead to ruining the cable jacket. It is best to
avoid damage to the cable jacket by consulting the cable manufacturer regarding lubricant compatibility with specific jacket compounds.
Pulling Eyes & Grips
Pulling eyes attached to the cable conductor(s) are used for large,
heavy cable, or for cables where the pulls are very long or contain
numerous bends. To use the pulling eye, one must fasten it directly
to the conductor(s) on the end of the cable by soldering the copper
conductors into a socket-type eye, or by mechanically compressing
the aluminum conductors into an aluminum eye. Then, a tape seal
or heat-shrinkable tube is placed over the eye-cable joint to provide
a reliable weather-tight seal for the cable during pulling. For armored cables, the armor needs to be properly secured to the eye to
insure the reliability of the cable during pulling. Generally, pulling
eyes tend to be installed at the factory; however, they can also be
installed in the field.
Often times, woven wire pulling grips, generally called baskets
are used to pull armored cables; they are well suited for pulling
smaller size voltage cables, or where the pulls are fairly short. Special measures need to be taken if using baskets on Interlock Armored cables to avoid damage to the cable or problems in making
the pull. The puling grip may tend to stretch the armor if the grip is
not properly secured to the cable. The following method for preparing the cable and attaching the grip is advised:
1. Select the grip size that fits the cable diameter or armor best.
Determine the length of the gripping portion of the grip.
2. Find two points on the end of the cable. The first is 75% of the
grip length from the end; the second is 100% of the grip length
from the end.
3. Get rid of the sheath/armor, and also the outer jacket if there, to
the first mark. Do not damage the core of the armor. If need be,

secure the armor at the cut point with friction tape before cutting.
4. Apply four, 3-inch long, tight wrappings of friction tape. Place
this tape on a) the end of the core, b) on the core to the edge of
the sheath/armor, c) on the jacket, or sheath/armor to the edge
of same, and d) on jacket, or sheath/armor where the last 3
inches of grip will be.
5. If cable will be exposed to moisture during the pull, seal the cut
ends of the conductors with sealing mastic and vinyl tape, or
heat-shrinkable cap(s).
6. Place the grip on the cable and secure it tightly by milking it
from the cable end towards the end of the grip.
7. Clamp the back end of the grip to secure it to the cable with a
steel hose clamp, such as the Band-It types, or a tough steel
wire that is firmly applied.
8. Over the clamp apply a tape wrapping to smooth it and prevent
drag during the pull.
CAUTION: The ends of cable pulled this way will not be entirely
safe from water. If this is an issue, properly applied pulling eyes
should be used.
*NOTE: The force applied by pulling a grip may damage or disrupt
the underlying cable, so it is best to cut off the section immediately below the grip as well as the three feet of cable behind the
grip before fixing together.
Maximum Pulling Tensions
To prevent damage to the cable, pulling tensions for installing electrical cables should be maintained as low as possible. This may be
done through proper use of size ducts or conduits, by avoiding
long pulls, and avoiding runs that may contain sharp bends or severe changes in elevation.
The following maximum allowable pulling tension must not be
passed when pulling cable by the method indicated.
A. Pulling Eye
The maximum tension for cables pulled with a pulling eye should
not exceed the value calculated using the following formula:

Tmax = CTC x CA x N
Where:
Tmax = Maximum pulling tension (lb)
CA = Conductor Area (cmil)
N = Number of conductors being pulled
CTC = Conductor Tension Constant
For CTC with aluminum compression eyes or blots use:
0.011 Copper conductor
0.008 Aluminum Stranded conductor
0.006 Aluminum Solid conductor
For CTC with filled eyes or bolts use:
0.013 Copper conductor
0.011 Aluminum Stranded conductor
0.008 Aluminum Solid conductor
NOTE: When calculating the maximum pulling tension, DO NOT
consider the area of neutral or grounding conductors in cable(s).
The number of conductors should be reduced by one (1) when cal-

Interlock Armor pulling tension using pulling grips should be limited to the
lesser of the value provided above or 50% of value of Tmax calculated using
Pulling Eye formula.

Note 1: The above tensions correspond to three cables in one grip.


The stress on the cable conductor should not exceed 16,000 psi
(0.013 lbs/cmil) for annealed copper conductors when using a grip.
For stranded and full hard aluminum conductors the stress
should not exceed 14,000 psi (0.011 lbs/cmil) and 10,000 psi (0.008
lbs/cmil) for solid to full hard aluminum conductors. The allowable conductor stress should be based on two cables sharing a
load for three single conductor cables in parallel and triplexed configurations.
Note 2: The manufacturer of the cable(s) used should be contacted
to determine the mechanical limitations of the cable(s).
Note 3: It is recommended that pulling grips be used during installation of Polymeric Armored Cables, due to their higher sidewall
bearing pressure capabilities.

Special Conditions for Metallic Armored Cables


Sheath Currents and Voltages in Single Conductor Cables
A voltage is induced in the concentrically applied wires of the
grounding conductor and the armor in a single conductor cable
with an interlocking armor.
A current will flow in the completed path if the armor and the con-

centric grounding conductor are bonded or grounded at more than


one (1) point. The magnitude of the induced voltage is relative to
the magnitude of the current in the phase conductor. The magnitude of the sheath currents is a function of the induced voltage and
the sheath impedance. The armor and the grounding conductor can
become very hot if the sheath current is large. If this occurs, the
conductor insulation will also be subjected to temperatures that
may cause electrical failure or reduce the life expectancy of the
cable.
One will have to derate the cable if sheath currents are large
enough to raise the temperature of the insulation above its rated
value.
In a single conductor cable carrying currents less than 180 amps,
sheath currents will not pose a problem since induced voltages and
sheath impedances minimize sheath losses.
In single conductor cables carrying currents between 180 and 425
amps, sheath currents will not pose a problem if the cables are
spaced about one (1) cable diameter apart. When this spacing is
done, mutual heating is minimized and the induced voltage is reduced by virtue of field cancellation.
In single conductor cables carrying currents larger than 425 amps,
it is normally necessary to derate the cables to avoid overheating
unless the sheath currents are removed.
Armor of magnetic material (such as galvanized steel) should not
be used on single conductor cables intended for use in AC circuits.
Eliminating Sheath Currents
One needs to make sure that all paths by which sheath currents circulate are kept open in order to prevent the current from flowing.
One should ground and bond cable armors and concentrically applied grounding conductors at the supply end only and afterwards
isolated from ground and each other. Isolation may be established
when installing cables in individual ducts by using cables with PVC
jackets or other insulating materials, or also by mounting cables.
No sheath current will flow if the armors and concentrically applied
grounding conductors are bonded and grounded at the supply end
through a non-ferrous metal panel and mounted on an insulated
panel at the load end. For an illustration of this, please see the figure down below.
a) Cables enter supply end enclosure through metallic non-ferrous
panel to avoid overheating. Cable armors are bonded through
panel.
b) Cable enters load end enclosure through panel of insulating material. The insulating material maintains the open circuit of the
armors.
c) Cable armors and concentrically applied grounding conductors
are bonded and grounded at the supply end only. When installed in this way, the armor and concentric grounding conductor do not form a part of the system ground circuit and a
separate ground conductor should be installed, following the
proper electrical code.
d) All cable connectors and lock nuts are made of non-magnetic
metal (aluminum or other).

Handling and Installation Engineering Guide
Standing Voltage
An induced voltage will exist between ground and both the armor
and the concentric grounding conductor throughout the length of
the cable when single conductor cables are installed, as shown in
the figure below:

The magnitude of this voltage is proportional to the phase conductor current, the cable length and the spacing between the cables.
The magnitude of the standing voltage is usually limited to about
25 volts. Please be aware that some Electrical Inspection Authorities limit this voltage to a lower amount.
By grounding the armor and the concentric grounding conductor at
the midpoint of the cable run, one can limit the standing voltage
and also increase the circuit length. If doing this, the cable must go
through a junction box at the midpoint of the run and must be connected on each side of the junction box as shown on the supply
end of the figure above. In this case, the cables at both the supply
and load ends must be connected through panels of insulating material to prevent the flow of sheath currents. Nevertheless, when
two (2) or more single conductor cables are installed in parallel per
phase, grounding at the midpoint is not allowed. For more on installing single conductor armor cables in parallel please see the diagram below, which depicts symmetrical configurations:

Notes:
1. S = Separation of groups. This equals the width of one group.
2. Horizontal and vertical separation between adjacent cables
should be a minimum of one (1) cable diameter to benefit from
the ampacity in free air in a ventilated cable tray.
3. Neutral conductors can be located outside of the above groups.
Reel Capacities
NEMA Method
The formula for calculating footage capacities of reels for round
cable is shown below. A 5% factor and 95% traverse utilization
have been built into the formula. Cables must be wound evenly to
obtain consistency.

Guide for the Installation of


ACSR Twisted Pair (TP) Conductor
ACSR/TP overhead conductor consists of two standard concentric stranded ACSR conductors
twisted around each other. It may be installed using techniques and equipment similar to that used
to install other concentric round wire conductors. However, a few special procedures must be used
to maintain equal tension between the two component conductors. The equipment recommendations and special procedures in this guide along with recommendations given in IEEE Std. 524,
Guide to the Installation of overhead Transmission Line Conductors, should be followed.
Handling
It is important to maintain the relationship of the conductor lengths established during manufacturing. Therefore, ACSR/TP conductor should not be rewound in the field from the shipping reel to another reel. Reels containing ACSR/TP conductor should be stored upright, resting on the rims.
Never lay the reel on its side.
Tensioners & Sheaves
Most methods of installation used for standard round conductor can be used to install ACSR/TP
conductor. However, non-tension methods of stringing are preferred such as laying the conductor
out on the ground and then lifting it into position on the poles.
If the conductor must be strung under tension then a multi-groove bullwheel tensioner MUST be
used to install ACSR/TP conductor. A tensioner in which the alignment of the front and back bullwheels are offset by the groove spacing is satisfactory for installing smaller sizes of ACSR/TP conductor, where the conductor will lay flat in the bottom on the groove. If improper equipment is
used, the ridge between the grooves may separate the individual ACSR/TP conductors.
Another commonly used tensioner has one bullwheel tilted slightly in relation to the other. This allows the conductor to ride in the bottom of the grooves. This type of tensioner, when properly sized,
is preferred.
The bottom groove diameters for sheaves and bullwheels should be sized in accordance with IEEE
Std. 524; except that the bottom groove for sheaves should not be less than 14 times the maximum
diameter of the ACSR/TP conductor. Note that for this type of conductor the term Dc should be
twice the diameter of one component conductor (referred to in this guide as the maximum diameter).
The groove radius of the sheave and bullwheel must be wide enough to allow the ACSR/ TP conductor to pass through with the two individual conductors laying flat and parallel. The minimum groove
radius should be 0.55 times the maximum diameter of the ACSR/ TP conductor. The use of smaller
than recommended diameter sheaves and/or high stringing tensions may cause a build-up of torsional stress into the conductor.
Stringing
Each shipping length of ACSR/TP conductor has three metal bands applied at the factory around
both conductors, one band at each end and one approximately 10 feet from the leading end. It is
recommended that these bands not be removed for the stringing procedure, however, if the gripping device cannot be applied, then it is acceptable to remove the outer band only leaving the second band in place a few feet further up the conductor. These bands will help maintain the individual
conductor length relationship when splicing and deadending.
A single woven wire grip sized to fit over both conductors and a swivel link should be used for tension stringing. Double band the open end of the grip to prevent it from accidentally coming off.
Apply tape over the bands to protect the stringing sheave surface.
Tensioning
ACSR/TP conductor should be tensioned by placing a separate grip on each component conductor.
The two grips are connected through a snatch block with a sling. Tension is applied to the snatch
block with a hoist or other appropriate tensioning device. This arrangement will apply even tension
to the component conductors.
Splicing
ACSR/TP conductors are normally joined by separately splicing each component conductor. Where
possible, the individual conductor splices should be staggered about 5 feet. An additional twist may
be needed before the second splice is made to remove any looseness between the individual conductors. This will ensure that each component conductor carries an even share of line tension. Both
splices must be made before tension is applied.

ACSR Twisted Pair (TP) Conductor
Repairs
Repairs to a damaged component conductor can be made using the following procedure:
1. Attach two wire grips facing each other approximately 15 feet apart on the undamaged component conductors.
2.Attach a hoist to the grips and take up tension. As the tension increases, slack will appear in
the damaged conductor.
3.Increase tension until there is enough slack to make the repairs.
If it is necessary to cut the damaged conductor to install a splice, a second set of grips and
hoist must be installed on the damaged conductor before it is cut. The above procedure should
be followed to install the grips.
Helically applied rods may also be used for repairs in accordance with normal utility practice
given the nature and severity of damage. Follow the above procedures to install the repair rods
on the damaged conductor.

Methods of Color Coding
Used to identify conductors for point-to-point wiring and for circuit diagrams. Color codes are used to establish a standard for use by different manufacturers.
The first color code used colored tracers in a solid colored braid. Most control cable color codes are adaptations of this method. Later, for
ease and convenience, ink printed versions were developed.
Telephone requirements established special color codes.
Color Codes (ICEA Methods)
ICEA/NEMA Method 1
Colored insulation with contrasting ink tracers as required. Six
different insulation colors and four different colored ink tracers are used to provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The same identification sequence is repeated for
cables containing more than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 2
A neutral colored compound is used with single or double spiral ink tracers as required to provide positive identification
through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated
for cables containing more than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 3
A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink
printed with both conductor number and color designation to
provide positive identification through 21 conductors. The
identification sequence is repeated for colors containing more
than 21 conductors.
ICEA/NEMA Method 4
A neutral or single colored insulation compound is surface ink
printed with conductor number to provide positive conductor
identification through 21 conductors. The identification sequence is repeated for cables containing more than 21 conductors.

ICEA/NEMA Method 5
A color coding using braids. Also sometimes specified using
colored insulation and contrasting tracers as an extension of
Method I to eliminate duplicate conductors. Up to 127 positive
conductor coding are available with this method. Usually
specified as per: ICEA5-61-402 Table 5-1 or ICEA 5-19-81 Table
5-2.
ICEA/NEMA Method 6
A color coding whereby one conductor in each layer is identified by a braid, tape, ridge, stripe or color.
ICEA/NEMA Paired Color Code
A coding whereby one leg of all pairs is coded white and its
mate is coded in accordance with the first 21 conductors of
Method 1, omitting white and repeating the sequence as necessary.
Telephone Paired Color Code
Five colors are paired with each of five mate colors to give 25
identified pairs. The color sequences are repeated for more
than 25 pairs using colored binder strings for group identification.

Note: UL and the NEC restrict the use of green and white as colors and stripes. Special color codes are available to meet these requirements. One method is
ICEA Method E-2 which is similar to Method 1 and ICEA Method E-4 which is similar to Method 2.

Recommended Reel Handling Practices


How to Handle Cable Reels

Recycling/Reel Return
Broken Reel Extreme Makeover Program
Innovative solution to salvage broken reels
with good cable on it. Reels are picked up,
examined and reran on new reels, avoiding
scrapping expensive wire.
Empty Wooden Reels Recycled program
AWG continuously picks up empty wooden
reels at no cost. This eliminates labor and
time to breakdown reels, as well as refuse
costs.

Cradle both reel flanges between


forks.

Upended heavy reels will often arrive


damaged. Refuse or receive subject
to inspection for hidden damage.

Reels can be hoisted with a shaft


extending through both flanges.

Do not lift by top flange. Cable


or reel will be damaged.

Lower reels from truck using


hydraulic gate, hoist or fork lift.
LOWER CAREFULLY!

Never allow forks to touch


cable surface or reel wrap.

Always load with flanges on


edge and chock and block
securely.

Never drop reels.
