4-4-6 Crab Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire

The 4-4-6 Crab Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire is designed for overhead electrical service applications. This cable features three aluminum conductors arranged in a triplex configuration: two conductors sized at 4 AWG and one at 6 AWG, typically with the two 4 AWG conductors serving as phase conductors and the 6 AWG as the neutral or ground. Constructed with high-quality aluminum using the Crab (or similar) construction method, it offers excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental conditions such as UV radiation, moisture, and corrosion. This makes it suitable for outdoor overhead installations, providing a reliable and efficient connection from utility poles to residential and commercial buildings, ensuring safe and long-lasting electrical service in various weather environments.

4-4-6 Crab Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable Wire Application

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.
