Reverse Twist Secondary
- Reverse Twist Secondary.
- Aluminum Conductors.
- High Density Polyethylene or Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulation.
Applications
Used as secondary overhead distribution cable at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75°C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90°C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors. Due to built-in phase conductor looseness, RTS cable facilitates stringing with conventional equipment and mid-span taps. The alternating lay of RTS cable reduces its susceptibility to the "galloping effect" encountered by many parallel aerial cable installations in areas where heavy winds are common.
