Triplex Wires : Triplex wires are
usually used in single-phase service
drop conductors, between the
power pole and weather heads.
They are composed of two insulated
aluminum wires wrapped with a
third bare wire which is used as a
common neutral. The neutral is
usually of a smaller gauge and
grounded at both the electric meter
and the transformer.
Main Feeder Wires : Main power feeder wires are the wires
that connect the service weather head to the house. They’re
made with stranded or solid THHN wire and the cable installed
is 25% more than the load required
