Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 2 AWG 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 2 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 "2 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.
