Brand: Service Wire Co. · SKU: SW-RISER · Category: Wire & cable · Type: Single Conductors
Service Wire SW-RISER, sold as Transformer Riser, is covered, not insulated, solid or stranded copper line wire finished with a black HMW/LLDPE polyethylene covering built to ICEA S-70-547. It is manufactured specifically for use as uninsulated transformer riser leads. The 110-mil covering is designed to protect the copper conductor against weather exposure, vibration, and phase-to-phase contact faults on the riser run between a pad-mounted or pole transformer and the point of connection. Because this is a covering rather than a rated insulation system, it is applied and specified according to utility and engineering requirements for riser applications rather than as general building wire. SW-RISER is offered in both solid and 7-strand conductor options at each available size, giving an electrician flexibility to match the construction to the termination method used on a given riser. This is a bid-only product; conductor size, stranding, and length are configured per project and quoted on request.
