(1) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(2) Due to rounding, total values may be slightly greater or slightly less than the sum of the component values.
(3) Weights shown are for conductor only and do not include the reel. Normal length and shipping tolerances apply.
Dimensions and weights not designated minimum or maximum are nominal values and subject to manufacturing tolerances. In this context, weight means mass.

(4) Code words shown denote ACSR with regular-strength Class A galvanized steel core (S1A). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for
alternative design options.
(5) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20C for aluminum and ignores the effects of the steel core. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by
3.281.
(6) Based on a conductor temperature of 75C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32C ambient temperature, 1.98 ft/sec (0.6 m/s) crosswind (90 to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of
emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 42 northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90 azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (resulting
in 95.0 W/ft of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(7) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius (30.48 cm). To convert the Geometric Mean Radius (GMR) to cm, divide the value by
0.03821. To convert inductive reactance to ohm/km, multiply the value by 3.281. To convert capacitive reactance to ohm/km, divide the value by 3.281.
