CONSTRUCTION | |
Conductor: | - Class B compressed concentric stranded bare copper in accordance with ASTM B3 and B8 and ICEA Part 2, Section 2.1 and 2.5 |
Conductor Shield: | - The conductor shall be shielded with an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric layer, which shall be firmly bonded to the insulation. The thickness shall be in accordance with the referenced standards. |
Insulation: | - The insulation shall be XLP (crosslinked polyethylene) meeting the requirements of the referenced standards. The average thickness shall be 0.175" or .220" and the minimum spot thickness shall be not less than 90% of the average thickness. |
Insulation Shield: | - The insulation shall be shielded with an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric layer which shall be identified as semi-conducting. Over this layer shall be applied a helically-wrapped 5-mil copper tape. The method of phase identification will be similar to ICEA Method 3, using printed circuit numbers and colors (1-BLACK, 2-RED, 3-BLUE). |
Grounding Conductor: | - The ground conductor shall be Class B compressed concentric stranded bare copper in accordance with ASTM B3 and B8. |
Assembly: | - The insulated and shielded power conductors shall be cabled round with fillers and with a grounding conductor in one outer interstice and covered with a binder tape. |
Armor: | - A single strip of aluminum interlocked armor |
Jacket: | - The cable shall be covered with a red PVC jacket conforming to the requirements specified for polyvinylchloride in ICEA. The average thickness shall be in accordance with the referenced standards and the minimum spot thickness shall be not less than 80% of the average thickness. The jacket will be sunlight resistant and will meet the requirements of the IEEE 1202 (70,000 Btu/hr) vertical cable tray flame tests. |
Applications:
- For use in aerial installations, direct burial, metal racks, open trays, troughs or continuous rigid cable supports at 100% insulation level. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a maximum conductor temperature of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions, and are rated at 15,000V, 133% (ungrounded system).
Standards:
- Manufactured and tested in accordance with the latest revisions of:
- ICEA Pub. No. S-66-524, NEMA Pub. No. WC8, AEIC No. 6, and UL 1072 MV90
- ICEA Pub. No. S-66-524, NEMA Pub. No. WC8, AEIC No. 6, and UL 1072 MV90
