Aluminum EPR Insulated Concentric Neutral Primary UD Cable

Aluminum EPR Insulated Concentric Neutral Primary UD Cable

Application:

• Underground primary residential and commercial distribution circuits.
• May be used in wet or dry locations, installed in underground ducts or direct burial. 

Also Known As:

Aluminum EPR cable, Concentric neutral EPR cable, Primary UD cable Aluminum15kV, EPR insulated concentric neutral cable, 15kV primary underground cable, 10kV Aluminum EPR concentric cable, Medium voltage EPR concentric cable.

Standards:

• ICEA S-94-649: Standard for Concentric Neutral Rated Cables 546 kV.
• AEICCS8: Specifications for Extruded Dielectric, Shielded Power Cable, rated 5 —46 kV. 

Maximum operating voltage:
• 5KV —46kV, 100 and 133% IL
Maximum conductor operation temperatures:
Wet and dry locations
•  Normal: 105°C
•  Emergency: 140°C
• Short Circuit: 250 °C 

Construction:

• Conductor: Hard drawn aluminum Class B compressed or unilay compressed stranding per ASTM B231. 
• Conductor Shield: Semi conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). On request, super-clean and super-smooth materials. 
• Insulation: Thermoset ethylene propylene rubber (EPR). On request, amorphous EPR.
• Insulation Shield: Semi conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
• Concentric Neutral: Tinned coated soft annealed solid copper wires per ASTM B3 and B33, helically applied and uniformly spaced. Full or 1/3 Neutral. 

Features:

• Low tension stripping compounds.
• Sealed conductor passes the production water penetration tests per ICEA-T-31-610 at 15 psi for 60 minutes.
• True Triple extrusion system and closed handling raw materials system, to eliminate any contact with ambient, until extrusion of insulation and shields.
