SquirrelShield, Triplex Service Drop,4/0AWG
SquirrelShield™ Triplex
Service Drop
Aluminum Conductors. Copper Neutral.
Polyethylene or Crosslinked Insulation.
APPLICATIONS
Used to supply power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer, to the user's service head in areas where squirrels are
known to damage the bare neutral by chewing. Damage can result in complete loss of the neutral, known to cause voltage
stability problems at the service. Used at a maximum voltage of 600 volts phase-to-phase, or 480 volts to ground, and at
conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene conductors (poly) or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP)
insulated conductors.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire's SquirrelShield™ Triplex service drop cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
? B-1 Hard-Drawn Copper Wire.
? B-8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors, Hard, Medium Hard, or Soft.
? B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.
? B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded.
? B-901 Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors Using Single Input Wire.
Southwire's SquirrelShield™ Triplex service drop cable meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-76-474
for polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene insulated conductors and Southwire Raw Material Standard R010411 for
stranded copper. It has been tested effective against gray squirrel chewing activity on the neutral messenger in laboratory
tests at Genesis Laboratories, a licensed animal research facility registered with the USDA in compliance with the Animal
Welfare Act. It has also proven effective in field trials in the state of South Carolina.
CONSTRUCTION
Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum, insulated with either polyethylene or
XLP. Neutral messenger is a bare, hard-drawn concentrically stranded copper SCRAMessenger (Southwire Copper Rodent
Adverse Messenger).
