(1) Code words shown denote ACSS/TW 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.
(3) Based on a conductivity of 63% 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 of ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(4) Based on a conductor temperature of 75°C or 200°C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 25°C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec crosswind (90° to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of emissivity for a standard conductor and 0.9 for a E3X coated
conductor, 0.5 coefficient of absorptivity for a standard conductor and 0.2 for a E3X coated conductor, 30° northern latitude, sea level elevation, 90° azimuth of line (East-West), clear atmosphere, and a date and time of noon on July 1 (result-
ing in 96.0 W/ft2 of solar and radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(5) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius.

(1) Code words shown denote ACSS/TW 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.
(3) Based on a conductivity of 63% 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 of ohms/km, multiply by 3.281.
(4) Based on a conductor temperature of 75°C or 200°C at 60 Hz and the following conditions: 25°C ambient temperature, 2 ft/sec crosswind (90° to conductor), 0.5 coefficient of emissivity for a standard conductor and 0.9 for a E3X
coated conductor, 0.5 coefficient of absorptivity for a standard conductor and 0.2 for a E3X coated conductor, 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 radiated heat). Actual ampacity will differ based on local conditions. For specific ampacities, please contact your General Cable sales representative.
(5) Values for inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are expressed in terms of a 1 ft radius.
