Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference in rated strength between Hickory and Butternut conductors?
Although both Hickory and Butternut share the same size (4 AWG) and dimensional configuration, Hickory features a significantly higher rated strength of 2,240 LBS compared to Butternut's 1,760 LBS.
Which conductor code name has the highest ampacity rating?
The Hackberry conductor (size 266.8 MCM) has the highest ampacity rating in this list at 435 Amps under XLPE insulation, followed by Buckeye (size 4/0 AWG) at 345 Amps.
How does the wire construction of Hackberry differ from the other options?
Unlike the other listed conductors which utilize a 6-wire aluminum strand configuration, the Hackberry conductor features 18 aluminum wires with a diameter of 3.09 mm, paired with 1 steel wire.
What insulation thickness options are available for these conductors?
The insulation thickness varies by cable size: smaller sizes (6 to 4 AWG) have a thickness of 0.76 mm, mid-range sizes (2 to 1 AWG) have 1.14 mm, and larger sizes (1/0 AWG to 266.8 MCM) feature a 1.52 mm insulation thickness.
How does the mass of the wire compare between XLPE and Poly insulation?
Across all listed conductor types, XLPE insulated wires consistently exhibit a slightly higher mass per unit length (measured in LBS/Kft) compared to Polyethylene (Poly) insulated options.
