160-23-8140 500 MCM 1C Aluminum Unshielded EPR Concentric 1/3 Neutral Okolene 580 46KV Okoguard URO-J Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 160-23-8140 500 MCM 1C Aluminum Unshielded EPR Concentric 1/3 Neutral Okolene 580 46KV Okoguard URO-J Cable:100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for power distribution, typically in utility networks. It features a high-voltage capacity, making it suitable for applications requiring a voltage rating up to 46KV. The use of aluminum conductors makes it a cost-effective option for bulk power transfer.

Also Known As:

It may also be referred to as a high-voltage aluminum cable or EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulated cable. The specific naming can vary based on the manufacturer or the distributor.

Application:

• Power transmission lines
• Primary and secondary distribution
• Overhead and underground installations where high voltage is required
• Industrial settings for connecting substations to grids or large machinery

Standards:

This cable typically meets standards set by the IEEE for high-voltage cables. These may include specific requirements for insulation, conductor size, and resistance to environmental factors. Standards such as IEEE 1202 for flame testing and IEEE 383 for a thermal evaluation may also be relevant.

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated copper sizes 4/0 AWG through 1000 kcmil are compact round strand per ASTM B496. Uncoated copper sizes larger than 1000 kcmil are compressed Class B strand per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8. Aluminum per ASTM B609, compressed Class B strand per ASTM B231.
• Conductor Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation: Extruded Okoguard meets or ® exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen. Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Concentric Conductor: Bare copper concentric neutral wires helically applied.
• Jacket: Black OKOLENE LLDPE with red ® extruded stripes. Meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5 for polyethylene jackets.

Features:

• Triple tandem extruded, all EPR system.
