Overhead Neutral-Supported Multiplex Conductor

Overhead neutral-supported multiplex conductors are electricAl Cables composed of one, two, or three insulated phase conductors that are factory cabled around a central neutral conductor, which serves as the supporting member. These conductors are insulated with either polyethylene (PE) rated for 75°C or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) rated for 90°C. Additionally, the conductors are sunlight resistant, ensuring durability when exposed to outdoor conditions.

Applications

These conductors are primarily used in two types of power distribution systems:

Service Drop Cable: This is the connection between a power pole and the service entrance of a building, typically delivering single-phase power.

Secondary Distribution Cable: This is used between power poles for distributing electricity.

Duplex and Triplex Cables:Designed for delivering single-phase power from the secondary power line or pole-mounted Transformer to the service entrance. Duplex refers to a single-phase conductor, while triplex includes two phase conductors.

Quadruplex Cable: Intended for three-phase power delivery from the secondary power line or transformer to the service entrance.

These cables are suitable for circuits with a voltage of up to 600V (phase-to-phase).

Construction

Conductor: The phase conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 Aluminum. Duplex cables have one phase conductor, triplex cables have two, and quadruplex cables have three.

Insulation: The phase conductors are insulated with either Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) rated for 90°C or thermoplastic polyethylene (PE) rated for 75°C.

Neutral Supporting Messenger: The neutral conductor can be made from either AAC (All Aluminum Conductor), AAAC (All Aluminum Alloy Conductor), or ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced).

Additional Options:

Phase conductors made from AAAC (for improved strength and conductivity).
