8 AWG – ALUMINUM QUADPLEX SERVICE DROP – AAC NEUTRAL MESSENGER

Quadruplex Service Drop Aluminum Conductor cable is designed for use to supply 3 phase power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user’s service head where connection to the service entrance cable is made to be used at voltages of 600 Volts or less phase to phase and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75ºC for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90ºC for cross linked Polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.
