4-4-4 Prawn Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire

The 4-4-4 Prawn Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire is a specialized overhead electrical cable designed for reliable service connections. It features three aluminum conductors, each 4 AWG in size, arranged in a triplex configuration to deliver power efficiently from utility poles to residential or commercial buildings. The "Prawn" designation typically refers to the color coding or specific insulation characteristics, which may aid in identification and installation. Built for outdoor use, this cable offers excellent durability, weather resistance, and flexibility, making it suitable for overhead service drops in various environmental conditions. Its robust construction ensures safe and long-lasting electrical performance for overhead distribution systems.

4-4-4 Prawn Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire Application

4-4-4 Prawn Triplex aluminum wire has three conductors, with one of them being for neutral path, and two electrodes. Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service for construction. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.A bare messenger wire of this electrical cable is bonded closely on the two insulated aluminum conductors, which are individually insulated with black cross-linked polyethylene for protection.
