Specification

266.8 MCM 7 Stranded Hard Drawn Aluminum Covered Shield Polyethylene 15KV Spacer Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 266.8 MCM 7 Stranded Hard Drawn Aluminum Covered Shield Polyethylene 15KV Spacer Cable:100 Amps

About:

Covered conductors consist of stranded hard drawn aluminium conductors with either one, two or three extruded layers depending on the voltage rating. Covered conductors are available in black or gray depending on visual preference.

Also Known As:

• 15KV Spacer Cable
• Tree Wire or Covered Aerial MV (Medium Voltage) Cable
• Insulated Spacer Cable
• Messenger Supported Spacer Cable

Application:

Covered conductors are designed to be used in spacer cable systems. Conductors are suspended from the messenger using Hendrix polyethylene spacers. Covered conductors are rated for continuous operation at 75°C.

Benefits:

• Covering prevents faults due to contact
• Proprietary, high density outer layer resists abrasion, electrical tracking and UV degradation.
• Reduced NESC phase spacing is possible due to high impulse strength covering.

Standards:

• ASTM B230 (Standard Specification for Aluminum 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes).
• ASTM B231 (Standard Specification for Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum 1350 Conductors).
• ANSI/ICEA S-76-474 (Standard for Neutral-Supported Power Cable Assemblies with Weather-Resistant Extruded Insulation Rated for 600 Volts to 35 kV).
• IEEE 1138 (Standard for Testing and Performance for Optical Ground Wire for Use on Electric Utility Power Lines, if applicable).

Construction:

• Conductors: Made from 266.8 MCM AWG 7 stranded hard-drawn aluminum, providing a balance between flexibility and strength.
• Insulation: Features a high-grade polyethylene insulation rated for 15KV, which offers excellent electrical properties and resistance to environmental factors.
• Shielding: A covered shield is applied to enhance electrical performance and safety by reducing electrical stresses and minimizing interference.
• Spacer System: Utilizes spacers at regular intervals to maintain conductor separation, which improves the cable's electrical characteristics and physical reliability.

Features:

• Enhanced electrical reliability, particularly in adverse environmental conditions or in areas with high vegetation.
• Increased physical robustness due to the hard-drawn aluminum construction and protective insulation.
• Improved safety features, including reduced risk of power outages and enhanced personnel protection due to the insulated design.
• Flexibility in installation, allowing for use in a range of environments and configurations.
• Compatibility with existing utility infrastructure, facilitating upgrades and expansions in various distribution networks.
