Tree wire spacer cable is a type of overhead distribution cable designed for installations where vegetation clearance is limited, such as narrow streets, heavily wooded areas, or urban corridors. It provides insulated, weather-resistant power transmission while minimizing the need for tree trimming or wide right-of-way clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between tree wire and covered conductor? A: Tree wire is a type of covered conductor designed for use with spacers, allowing multiple phases to be run close together with reduced tree trimming. Covered conductors are insulated but don’t use spacers.
Q: What’s better for mechanical strength, AAC or ACSR? A: ACSR offers higher tensile strength due to the steel core, making it suitable for long spans. AAC and AAAC are lighter and more corrosion-resistant.
