(2) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(3) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C 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/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(4) 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.

(2) Based on a conductivity of 61.0% IACS at 20˚C. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(3) Based on a conductor temperature of 75˚C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 32˚C 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/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(4) 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.

(1) Code words shown denote ACSS with regular-strength Class A zinc-5% aluminum mischmetal alloy-coated steel core (/MA2). See the Options section to find the appropriate code word modifier designation for alternative
design options.
(4) Based on a conductivity of 61.2% (minimum lot average) IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and 8% IACS at 20˚C for the steel core. AC resistance for single-layer and three-layer designs approximates the effects of core
magnetization. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(5) Based on the given conductor temperature at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 25˚C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec crosswind (90˚ to conductor),
0.5 coefficient of emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 30˚ 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 96.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based
on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(6) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius.

design options.
(4) Based on a conductivity of 61.2% (minimum lot average) IACS at 20˚C for aluminum and 8% IACS at 20˚C for the steel core. AC resistance for single-layer and three-layer designs approximates the effects of core
magnetization. To convert to ohms/mile, multiply by 5.28. To convert to ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(5) Based on the given conductor temperature at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 25˚C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec crosswind (90˚ to conductor),
0.5 coefficient of emissivity, 0.5 coefficient of absorbtivity, 30˚ 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 96.0 W/ft² of solar and sky radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based
on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(6) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius.

Cable shipped on pallets should be stored indoors if possible. Cable shipped on wooden or metal reels
may be stored outdoors. When selecting a storage site, consideration should be given to:
• Traffic patterns during off-loading
• Grade and condition of the soil or pavement
• Protection from vehicle damage during the time in storage
• Environmental conditions such as exposure to heat, corrosive chemicals, etc.

If cable reels must be pancaked or stored in vertical racks, do not lift the reel by the top flange. Spacers
placed under the bottom flange and between reels (two 2x4s placed wide side up) create a space to insert
the forks and lift the reel without damaging the cable. If nails are used to secure the spacers, make sure
the nails do not go through the flange and into the cable.
For extended storage of bare or This helps keep the flanges from
insulated cables (spare cable, decaying and prevents the reels from
etc.), reels should be stored rolling. At temporary storage sites
cradled between railroad ties, where soil may be soft, preservative-
power poles or crossarms. Size treated plywood sheets may be used
and spacing of the supports should to keep reel flanges from sinking into
raise the flange above the ground. the ground.
When possible, the reel wrap or lagging supplied on the reels should be replaced to help protect the cable
from inadvertent damage. Under extreme environmental conditions, other measures may be necessary.
To prevent entrance of water, cable ends should be sealed with plastic end caps. Electrical tape does not
offer a sufficient seal. When lengths are cut, cable ends should be immediately resealed and secured.
Low temperatures are a cause for concern when installing cable. Cable should not be installed when
the ambient temperatures are less than the cold bend temperature rating of the cable product plus 15°C
(i.e., the minimum installation temperature = cold bend temperature rating + 15°C). When applicable, the
cold bend temperature rating is indicated on the individual product page in this catalog. Polyethylene
insulated jacketed low-voltage cables and polyethylene jacketed medium-voltage power cables are
suitable for storage and operation at -40°C and should not be handled or installed when the temperature
of the cable or the ambient temperature is below -25°C. For other cable designs, cold weather installation
may be limited to higher ambient temperatures. For more information about a specific construction,
please contact your General Cable sales representative.
If installations are to be carried out where the cable and/or the ambient temperature is below the limit
specified above, the cable should first be warmed for a minimum of 48 hours at room temperature
(15°C) or higher prior to handling. Cable should be pulled more slowly and trained in place the same
day it is removed from storage. Do not impact, drop, kink or bend cable sharply at low temperatures.

Shipping Information –
Bare Overhead / Individual Package (Reel or Coil)
Unless otherwise agreed upon at time of quotation
• An amount not exceeding 10% of the total quantity of any order may be shipped in
random lengths, with no one length shorter than 50% of the specified shipping reel length.
• When required, bare conductor may be furnished in matched sets, with the variation
in the measured length within each group being no greater than 150 feet for sets of 6
or less, and 200 feet for sets of 9 and 12. In the case where a random length has been
produced, the corresponding matched set group will be cut to within a 10 ft. tolerance.
For matched set reel identification, on both flanges of the reel, a weatherproof tag is
attached that has a Number/Letter identifier marked on it. The number is the numerical
sequence from 1, 2, 3, 4, etc for the different sets of matched conductor reels, and the
letters A, B, C, etc. identify the matched reels in each set.
• For product shipped in coils, 90% of an order quantity shall be furnished in exact lengths
as specified in General Cable catalog pages. Exact lengths are specified as having a minus
0% tolerance. Up to 10% of an total order quantity may be supplied in random lengths
with no one length shorter than 50% of the specified coil length.
• For bare overhead conductor shipped on wood or steel reels, a reel wrap covering is
applied over the conductor. The default reel wrap material consists of a NEMA WC26
Level II (Weather Protector). Individual manufacturing plant preferences may utilize heavier
grade level of reel wrap material.
Shipping Information –
Covered and Insulated Cable (Reel or Coil)
