Applications
POLY AL. & POLY AAC & POLY ACSR conductors are primarily used in overhead distribution lines. Installed on insulators, otherwise treated as bare conductor.
Constructions
POLY AL. & POLY AAC conductors are solid 1350 - H19 aluminum and concentrically stranded according to ASTM B 231. Covered with weather resistant black polyethylene compound.
POLY ACSR conductors are concentrically stranded according to ASTM B 232. Covered with weather resistant black polyethylene compound.
Standards
