35kV PowerGuard® MV Aerial 3 Layer Cable (Spacer Cable or Tree Wire) - AAAC

Construction
Conductors are concentric strand AAC (1350-H19), AAAC (either compressed or full compact depending on conductor size) or ACSR. The conductor shield shall be an extruded back semiconductor polymer meeting the physical requirements of ICEA S-61-402.  Available with track-resistant high-density polyethylene (TR-HDPE) per ASTM D1248 or Track-Resistant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TK-XLPE) covering per ASTM D2656 and ICEA S-66-524.  The minimum thickness of each layer at any point shall not be less than listed in the data table.   The outer layer shall contain a carbon black additive, not less than 0.02% to provide the weather resistance, and track resistance.
