1000 MCM 61 Str Copper Flat Strap EPR/PE Primary UD Cable 100% Insulation Level 175 mil 15 kV

1000 MCM 61 Str Copper Flat Strap EPR/PE Primary UD Cable 100% Insulation Level 175 mil 15 kV

Application:

• Underground primary distribution circuits where existing duct spacing is limited and reduced cable OD is desired.
• May be used in wet or  dry locations, installed in underground ducts, or direct burial.

Also Known As:

1000 MCM  EPR PE Concentric Neutral Cable, Flat Strap PILC Replacement Cable, Primary Underground Distribution Cable, Medium Voltage EPR Cable, 1000 MCM Concentric Neutral Power Cable, 1000 MCM PILC Replacement Power Cable, 5–46 kV Underground Cable, 1000 MCM Copper Concentric Neutral Cable.

Standards:
