Covered Line Wire

Scope:

Covered Line Wire is used in uninsulated transformer wire applications, providing excellent mechanical, abrasion, moisture, chemical and oil resistance. For this application, the HMWPE is not considered an electrical insulation; however, it does reduce faults due to atmospheric conditions, vibrations, and crossed leads.

Applicable Standards and Tests:

ASTM B-1, B-3, and B-8, ASTM D-1248, NEMA WC-5, ICEA S-61-402, ICEA S-70-547, ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70, CSA C68.9, Spark tested at 7500 VAC

Construction:

Conductors:

Single copper conductors are solid or stranded, annealed or hard uncoated copper.

Insulation:

Black, sunlight resistant polyethylene with concentrically applied insulation, Type I, Class A, Cat 5, and Grades E4-E5. Types II, III, and IV (MDPE and HDPE) are available on request.

Note: This product, when requested, is also available in Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation.

Identification and Packaging:

Long length bulk reels are standard. Custom lengths, stranding and packaging are available by request.
