Answer 1

I'm not certain what you are asking, I believe those would be code words for various sizes of aluminum conductor, steel reinforced (ACSR) power transmission cables.

This site might be helpful:  http://www.copper-cable.co.uk/products.p... the URL to the relevant page seems to be to long to paste here, so, from the link above, click on "Power cables" then on the next page, "ACSR Alum Conductor Steel Reinforced"

By the way, the names can vary, I don't know it is by country or by manufacturer or what. The link above with names like Rabbit, Lynx and Zebra is in the UK, this US company: http://www.southwire.com/ProductCatalog/... is using bird names (including Drake)

Also, in some places, all aluminum conductor (AAC) cables have insect names.
