    Applications
    ±Ê´Ç·É±ð°ù³Ò³Ü²¹°ù»å® cables are intended for use in wet or dry locations for distribution of single or three phase medium-voltage power. These cables may be installed in ducts or direct buried.

    Description
    Single conductor cable with filled strand aluminum conductors, triple extruded dry cured insulation system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength ±Ê´Ç·É±ð°ù³Ò³Ü²¹°ù»å® TRXLPE insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, copper concentric neutral wires, water blocking agents, black encapsulating cross-linked polyethyleneÌý(TRXLPE)Ìýjacket.

    Construction
    °ä´Ç²Ô»å³Ü³¦³Ù´Ç°ù:Ìý
    Class A or B compact concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231. Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
    Conductor Shield:Ìý Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
    Insulation: Extruded, Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 - 100% insulation level.
    Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
    Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced.
    Water-blocking agents:Ìý Applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires to resist longitudinal water penetration. Longitudinal water penetration shall be tested in accordance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1 hour.
    Outer jacket: An extruded-to-fill black non-conducting cross-linked polyethylene jacket, meeting the physical requirementsÌýthe tables below,Ìýwhen tested by the methods specified in ANSI/ICEA S-94-649. The jacket shall be free-stripping and not interfere with contact between the neutral wires and the underlying extruded insulation shield. The jacket is sunlight resistant.Ìý The jacket shall contain a print legend marking, sequential length marking and three longitudinal extruded red stripes.

    Designed for 40 years of service.
