Overview

Parameter Inquiry

Overview

Application

Underground primary residential and commercial distribution circuits. May be used in wet or dry locations, installed in underground ducts or direct burial.

Construction:

1. Conductor: Soft annealed uncoated copper Class B compressed or unilay compressed per ASTM B8 or hard drawn aluminum Class B compressed or unilay compressed stranding per ASTM B231. On request: strand filled. Sizes: 8 AWG – 1000 kcmil. On request: larger sizes available.

2. Conductor Shield: Semi conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). On request, super clean and super smooth materials.

3. Insulation: Thermoset ethylene propylene rubber (EPR). On request: amorphous EPR.

4. Insulation Shield: Semi conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).

5. Concentric Neutral: Soft annealed solid copper wires per ASTM B3, helically applied and uniformly spaced. Full or 1/3 Neutral. On request options: alternate neutral constructions, Water Swellable Powder (WSP), and ripcords.

6. Jacket: Extruded to fill (Encapsulated) Black sunlight resistant linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), with three Red Stripes. On request: semiconducting PE or Black HDPE. Configuration: Options. On request: Triplex or Paralleled configurations.

Standards:

ICEA S-94-649 (Concentric Neutral Cables Rated 5 Through 46 kV.)

AEIC CS8 (Extruded Dielectric, Shielded Power Cables rated 5 kV - 46 kV.)

ASTM B8 (Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors, Hard, Medium-Hard, or Soft.)

ASTM B231 (Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors.)
