    This document provides information on Hendrix Tap, Tie & Ground Wire products. It describes the materials and construction of tap wire, covered tie wire, and insulated ground wire. Tap wire has a compressed copper conductor covered with thermoplastic rubber and is used to connect equipment like transformers. Covered tie wire uses an aluminum conductor and thermoplastic rubber covering to connect covered conductors to insulators. Insulated ground wire has a copper conductor covered with polyethylene layers to provide insulation and increase the wire's breakdown strength for grounding applications.

    Hendrix Tap, Tie & Ground Wire

    MADE IN U.S.A. 53 Old Wilton Road • Milford, NH 03055-3119 • 603-673-2040 • www.marmonutility.com

    A Marmon Wire & Cable/Berkshire Hathaway Company


    Tap Wire
    Description
    Hendrix Tap Wire incorporates the benefits of a covered cable system into a jumper/tap wire application.
    Tap wire is used as a lead from primary phase conductors to equipment bushings. This is suitable
    for use in spacer cable, tree wire, weatherproof wire, and bare wire distribution lines. It is comprised
    of a compressed stranded or solid copper conductor and covered with a layer of extruded black,
    thermoplastic rubber (TPR).

    Benefits
    • High voltage breakdown strength, ideal for • Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) covering is
    15-35kV applications flexible and trains easier than polyethylene
    • Reduces outages due to wildlife contact with the covered wires
    energized tap and a phase or a ground plane • Resists UV degradation.
    such as a transformer case
    • Thickest covering in the industry, yet bends
    with no “springback”

    Application
    Hendrix Tap Wire is recommended for use in spacer cable, tree wire, weatherproof wire, and bare wire
    distribution lines. It is useful in the following applications:

    Tap wire for cutouts, transformers, and other equipment


    • Substation equipment connection to provide covered bus and as a covered ground lead
    • Ground wire in distribution circuits
    • Commonly used with the Hendrix Wildlife Guard (BG-9), which is placed over the bushing and isolates the
    bushing connector from contact
    Covered Tie Wire
    Description
    Hendrix Covered Tie Wire incorporates the benefits of a covered cable system into a tie wire application.
    Covered tie wire is used to tie a covered conductor to a Hendrix polyethylene pin type insulator. This is
    suitable for use in spacer cable, tree wire, and weatherproof wire distribution lines. It is comprised of a fully
    annealed aluminum conductor and covered with a layer of extruded black, thermoplastic rubber (TPR).

    Benefits
    • Eliminates tracking and erosion caused by the • Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) covering grips
    use of bare tie wire on a covered conductor covered conductor better than PVC and other
    tie wires
    • Conductor and covering are flexible and have no
    tendency to “springback” • Tying method is the same as that used with bare
    conductors and ties
    • Resists UV degradation.

    Insulated Ground Wire
    Description
    Hendrix Insulated Ground Wire incorporates the benefits of a covered cable system into a ground wire
    application. Insulated ground wire is used on wood pole transmission lines where a bare ground wire has
    insufficient BIL to meet system requirements. It is comprised of a copper conductor and covered with an
    inner layer of natural low density polyethylene and an outer layer of proprietary black, track and ultraviolet
    resistant, high density polyethylene. The covering thickness is dependent on the BIL requirements of the
    transmission line on which the insulated ground wire is to be installed.

    Benefits Application

    • Cost-effective method for increasing Connect Insulated Ground Wire


    To Shield Wire
    impulse strength

    • Proprietary outer layer resists abrasion,


    electrical tracking and UV degradation

    • Ideal for use on wood poles and cross arms

    • Easier to install than standoff insulators Insulated Ground Wire

    • Effective in reducing lightning outages

    • Discourages copper theft
