556.5-20/7 TYPE 16 ACSR/TW/GA2 DOVE 8000 FT
- Southwire #
- 36577516
Used for bare overhead transmission, primary and secondary distribution. Two design offerings: Equal Area or Equal Diameter when compared to standard round ACSR. Equal area designs allow comparable ampacity in a smaller diameter when compared to a standard round ACSR. Equal Diameter designs allow more ampacity and strength in an equal diameter conductor when compared to a standard round ACSR
Part of the family: ACSR/TW
Priced by quote — copper moves daily (COMEX), so we quote at the current price.
