6-6 SHEPHERD ALUMINUM DUPLEX OVERHEAD SERVICE DROP CABLE
Allowable Ampacity for 6-6 Shepherd Aluminum Duplex Overhead Service Drop Cable XLP at 90°C: 85 Amps
Allowable Ampacity for 6-6 Shepherd Aluminum Duplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Poly at 75°C: 70 Amps
Applications:
Duplex aluminium overhead cables have two conductors: one for electrodes, and the other one as a messenger (neutral conductor). This electrical wire, also called duplex overhead aluminum wire, is designed and manufactured for use in 120 V power distribution facilities. It is aerially installed with a maximum operational temperature rating of 75°C.
Just as the name of the aluminum drop duplex cable suggests, it has aluminium conductors which are insulated with a cross linked polyethylene for chemical and mechanical protection, forming the circular core. A bare messenger wire of this electrical cable is made of aluminum and is longitudinally laid on the conductors.
