OVERHEAD CONDUCTORS

**************************************************************************

NOTE: For LANTNAVFACENGCOM projects, do not use

"copper clad steel" or "aluminum conductor steel

reinforced (ACSR)."

**************************************************************************

Conductors of bare [copper] [aluminum (AAC)] [aluminum alloy (AAAC)]

[copper clad steel] [aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR)] of sizes

and types indicated.

2.6.1

Solid Copper

ASTM B 1, ASTM B 2, and ASTM B 3, hard-drawn, medium-hard-drawn, and

soft-drawn, respectively. ASTM B 8, stranded.

2.6.2

Aluminum

ASTM B 231/B 231M.

2.6.2.1

Aluminum Alloy

ASTM B 397 or ASTM B 399/B 399M.

2.6.2.2

Steel Reinforced

ASTM B 232/B 232M, aluminum.

2.6.3

Copper-Clad Steel

ASTM B 228.

2.7

NEUTRAL-SUPPORTED SECONDARY AND SERVICE DROP CABLES

**************************************************************************

NOTE: The term "secondary," for our general

purpose, means either bare or insulated conductors

installed between poles and operated at the

utilization voltage. Bare conductors should be

utilized on long span, open wire design when a

neutral-supported secondary cable is not appropriate

due to weight. When using bare conductors for

secondary applications use the above paragraph

entitled "Overhead Conductors". "Services" are

insulated conductors extending from a pole to the

metering point or service entrance connection at the

utilization point. Minimum conductor size for

aluminum, aluminum alloy, or ACSR shall be No. 4 AWG

and for copper, No. 6 AWG. For LANTNAVFACENGCOM

projects, do not use ACSR.
