Specification

Prysmian Airguard MV105 15kV 3C EPR/PVC 133% Medium Voltage Power Cable

Application:

Prysmian Airguard Cable has three conductor cables with stranded copper conductors, extruded insulation system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, helically applied bare copper tape shield, cabled with fillers and grounding conductors, overall binder tape, foamed polymeric layer for superior mechanical protection, longitudinally applied aluminum tape, extruded oil and hydrocarbon resistant polymeric layer, and overall sunlight resistant PVC jacket. Prysmian’s patented AIRGUARD™ cable is a direct replacement for continuously corrugated and welded aluminum armored cables with 5X the impact performance and 2X-3X the sidewall bearing pressure limit. Its enables longer pulls than with Continuously Corrugated and Welded type cables.

Also known as:

Prysmian Airguard Cable, Prysmian MV 105 Cable, Prysmian 15KV Cable, Prysmian Medium Voltage Power Cable, Prysmian Power Cable, Airguard Cable, EPR Cable, Medium Voltage Cable, Prysmian Welded Cable, Prysmian Corrugated Cable, Prysmian 133% Cable, Medium Voltage Power Cable.

Conductors:

Soft-drawn annealed copper per ASTM. Class B Compact concentric strand aluminum alloy 1350

Metallic Shield:

A mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield Helically applied non-magnetic copper tape(s) over the insulation shield with a nominal overlap of 25%. 

Conductor Shield:

The Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.

Insulation:

Natural high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR-based insulation, combined with other materials and agents that enhance the electrical and mechanical characteristics assuring extended cable life.

Insulation Shield:

The required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping. Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation provided.

Grounding Conductors:

Bare-stranded copper conductor per UL, ICEA, and ASTM.

Assembly:

A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability. Phase-identified conductors cabled with fillers and grounding conductors, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core.

Mechanical Protection:

High strength and high crush-resistant AIR BAG layer extruded over the core assembly.

Chemical Protection:

A layer of DRYLAM™ which consists of a 6mil longitudinally applied aluminum tape and a chemical-resistant extruded polymer layer is applied.

Jacket:

Sunlight and moisture-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket.
