Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 550 MCM 3C Stranded Bare Copper Unshielded TPO Halogen-Free 8.7/15KV RE4H1(O)M1 Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This specification describes a cable designed for medium voltage power transmission and distribution. It features three conductors composed of 550 MCM AWG stranded bare copper, known for its excellent conductivity and flexibility. The insulation is made from Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO), which is halogen-free, reducing toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire. The cable is rated for 8.7/15KV applications and adheres to the RE4H1(O)M1 classification, indicating specific construction and performance standards.

Also Known As:

This cable type could be referred to in various ways, focusing on its key characteristics. Some possible names include "550 MCM AWG 3C MV (Medium Voltage) TPO Cable," "8.7/15KV Stranded Copper MV Cable," or "Halogen-Free Medium Voltage 3-Core Cable." Different suppliers or regions might have alternative nomenclatures.

Application:

• Used in power transmission and distribution networks requiring medium voltage, such as municipal grids, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.
• Suitable for environments where fire safety is crucial, including underground passages, public transport systems, and densely populated buildings.
• Applied in renewable energy sectors, such as wind or solar farms, where medium voltage cabling is necessary for connecting power generation to the grid.

Standards:

• The RE4H1(O)M1 designation signifies that the cable meets specific standards for medium voltage applications, likely including those related to construction quality, fire safety, and electrical performance.
• Halogen-free standards ensure that, in the case of a fire, the cable will emit minimal toxic gases, adhering to stringent health and safety regulations.
