Copper EPR/PE Concentric Neutral Flat Strap PILC Replacement Primary UD Cable

Copper EPR/PE Concentric Neutral Flat Strap PILC Replacement Primary UD Cable

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:

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

Standards:

• ICEA S-94-649: Standard for Concentric Neutral Rated Cables 5 kV– 46 kV.
• AEIC CS8: Specifications for Extruded Dielectric, Shielded Power Cable, rated 5 kV – 46 kV.

Maximum operating voltage:
• 15 kV – 35 kV, 100% and 133% IL
Maximum conductor operation temperatures:
Wet and dry locations
• Normal: 105 °C
• Emergency: 140 °C
• Short Circuit: 250 °C

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated soft annealed copper Class B compacted stranding per ASTM B496. On request, Filled strand conductor. Sizes: 4/0 AWG – 1000 kcmil.
• Conductor Shield: Extruded semiconducting cross-linked polyethylene per ICEA and AEIC.
• Insulation: High quality, heat, moisture, ozone and corona resistant, thermosetting ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) per ICEA and AEIC..
• Insulation Shield: Extruded Semiconducting cross-linked polyethylene per ICEA and AEIC.
• Shield: Flat wires straps of annealed uncoated copper per ICEA, helically applied and uniformly spaced. Note: Specific flat strap constructions and configuration will vary per customer fault current requirements.
• Jacket: Extruded to fill of Black Liner Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) sunlight resistant thermoplastic compound, per ICEA S-97-682.

Features:

• Reduced overall OD.
• True Triple extrusion system, for optimum concentricity, and excellent electric field control.
• Closed handling raw materials system, to eliminate any contact with ambient, until extrusion of insulation and shields.
• Sealed conductor passes the Production Water Penetration tests per ICEA-T-31-610 at 15 psi for 60 minutes.
• Heavy duty mechanical and sunlight resistance jacket.
