Low-Voltage Power Cable ® Electric Utility PowrServ OH Secondary Cable Neutral-Supported Type RTS 600 V Triplex Al Conductor XLPE Insulation Reverse Twist Secondary (RTS) Product Construction: Complete Cable: Reverse Twist Secondary (RTS) cable consists of two aluminum conductors insulated with extruded lead-free Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), reverse twisted around an aluminum alloy or ACSR conductor which serves as a supporting neutral. RTS cable meets the requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-76-474. Conductors meet ASTM B231, B232 and B399 as applicable. Insulated Conductors: The all-aluminum stranded conductors are Class A, Class B, or SIW compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulation: The insulation is black extruded lead-free Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE). Bare Neutral: The all-aluminum alloy stranded conductors are Class AA or Class A 6201-T81 aluminum alloy (AAAC). The aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) is Class AA. The outer layer is right-hand. Lashing Wire: Aluminum 1350 wire, either flat wire approximately #10 AWG with beveled edges or #10 AWG wire covered with high-density polyethylene. Features and Benefits: The insulated conductors of RTS cables are resistant to weathering, sunlight, abrasion, tearing, cutting and chemicals. Conventional equipment can be used to string RTS. This cable is rated at 600 volts with a maximum conductor operations temperature of 90°C for extruded cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Applications: Reverse twist secondary cable is used as a secondary overhead distribution cable for 3-wire single phase power. The alternating lay direction (left-right-left) provides additional cable length for mid-span taps. Options: • Aluminum 1350-H16 or H26 (¾ Hard) stranded conductor • Copper conductors • High-molecular-weight Polyethylene (PE) insulation, 75˚C rating • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) insulation, 75˚C rating For more information, contact your General Cable sales representative or e-mail [email protected].
