Description:
Tree wire or covered open wire consists of the conductor (aluminum, aluminum alloy or ACSR ) and the extruded
covering (conductor shield, low density inner layer and protective outer layer). Covering thickness depends on
the system voltage. It is designed for full span applications and is supported on polyethylene insulators. We also
offer a two layer covered conductor design for 15kV systems that are not subject to heavy tree contact. Covered
conductors are available in black or gray depending on visual preference.
Benefits:
• Covering prevents faults due to contact
• Proprietary, high density outer layer resists abrasion, electrical tracking and UV degradation.
• Reduced NESC phase spacing is possible due to high impulse strength covering.
• Pole hardware is the same as bare wire construction except that Hendrix polyethylene insulators are required.
Application:
Hendrix provides tree wire designed for systems from 15kV through 46kV. Polyethylene insulators must be used
to insure dielectric compatibility with conductor covering. Conductors are supported on crossarms or standoff
brackets. Span lengths are limited by the conductor breaking strength and the amount of sag that is permissible.
Covered conductors are rated for continuous operation at 75°C. (Consult Hendrix sales representative for 46kV
tree wire systems).

Description:
Hendrix 90°C overhead covered conductors are a higher ampacity alternative to 75°C spacer cable and tree
wire. The semiconducting conductor shield is compatible with the 90°C rating. These covered conductors are
available in the full range of voltage ratings and conductor sizes offered for 75°C covered conductors used in
spacer cable and tree wire systems.
A B C
Benefits:
• Approximately 14% increase in ampacity over 75°C cable
• Approaches ampacity of equivalent size bare wire
• Ideal for applications having seasonal short duration peak loading
• Potential savings due to reduced pole class and guying requirements
• Semiconducting conductor shield enhances the cable electrical properties
Application:
Hendrix 90°C covered conductors are designed for use on 15kV through 69kV spacer cable and tree wire
systems. They are designed for sustained periods of operation at a 90°C conductor operating temperature.
The resulting increase in ampacity may allow for the use of a smaller conductor size and provide savings in pole
class and guying requirements. Also, the need for replacement of existing poles may be avoided. For assistance in
selecting 90°C covered conductors for specific applications, please contact your Hendrix sales representative.
Description:
Covered tie wire consists of a #44 AWG solid, fully annealed aluminum conductor covered by a 0.045" extruded
layer of blace thermoplastic rubber (TP R).
Benefits:
• Eliminates tracking and erosion caused by the use of bare tie wire on a covered conductor
• Conductor and covering are flexible and have no tendency to "springback"
• TPR covered tie wire grips covered conductor better than PVC and other tie wires
Application:
Covered tie wire is used to tie a covered conductor to a Hendrix polyethylene pin type insulator. The tying
method is the same as that used with bare conductors and ties. Conductor covering should not be removed.

TAP02, TAP04, TAP06 Covered Tap Wire
Description:
Hendrix tap wire is a stranded copper conductor covered with a 0.150" layer of flexible, black, thermoplastic
elastomer. It provides a covered lead from primary phase conductors to equipment bushings.
Benefits:
• Tap wire will reduce or eliminate outages due to wildlife contact
• Excellent ultraviolet and weathering characteristics maintain covering integrity
• Thermoplastic elastomer covering is more flexible and trains easier than polyethylene
covering
Application:
Hendrix covered tap wire is used to connect an overhead phase conductor to equipment bushings. Using
covered tap wire avoids outages due to wildlife contact with the energized tap and another phase or a ground
plane such as a transformer case. Covered tap wire is commonly used with the Hendrix Wildlife Guard which is
placed over the bushing and isolates the bushing connector from contact. The tap wire can also be used in
substation equipment connections to provide covered bus and as covered ground lead.
2.9
GW04, GW02 Insulated Ground Wire
Description:
Hendrix insulated ground wire consists of a copper conductor, an inner layer of unfilled high molecular weight
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:
• Eliminates expensive “outriggers” required by bare
grounds
• Provides a neater pole
• Makes pole climbing and maintenance easier
• Available with pre-stripped ends facilitate rapid installation
Application:
Hendrix insulated ground wire is used on wood pole transmission lines where a bare ground wire has insufficient
BIL to meet system requirements. The insulating covering on the ground wire provides impulse withstand sufficient to
meet the BIL requirements when the ground wire is stapled to the pole. The ground wire should extend above and
below the phase conductors as shown in the table below. Specify insulated length required plus one foot for
stripping (see packaging note).
Packaging: Furnished in master reel quantities, straight lengths or coils with both ends stripped back 6.0” unless
otherwise specified.
