Conductor construction

is soft drawn bare copper meeting the

requirements of ASTM Specification B-3. Gauge sizes 14 thru 10

are solid conductors.

The insulation is a linear low density, high molecular weight

polyethylene for systems applications of up to 600 volts.

Application:

Suitable for use as power and control wire for

irrigation systems.

Material must be able to pass the following tests without showing

signs of degradation:

Cold Bend—

The insulation shall not show any cracks

when sample is bent around a 3X mandrel after being

subjected to –25° C for four (4) hours.

Electrical—

AC test voltage, 60 seconds at 7500 volts.

Mechanical Water Absorption—

Insulation shall not absorb

more than 25 mg mass of water per square inch.

Sunlight Resistance Test—

Samples conditioned for

300 hours of carbon-arc or xenon-arc exposure.
