Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 AWG 3C Stranded Bare Copper Tape Unshielded XLPE PVC RE4H1(O)R 3.6/6KV Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable features three conductors (3C) of 4/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) size, made of stranded bare copper, which ensures good flexibility and excellent conductivity. It is rated for medium voltage applications up to 3.6/6 kilovolts (kV). The insulation is made of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), known for its high dielectric strength and thermal stability. The outer jacket is composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering protection against environmental factors and mechanical abrasion. Being unshielded, this cable lacks additional electromagnetic interference protection but is designed for environments where such interference is not a concern.

Also Known As:

This cable might be referred to by different names, emphasizing its key features, such as "4/0 AWG 3C Medium Voltage Copper Cable" or "3.6/6KV 3-Core XLPE Insulated Cable." The specific naming can vary depending on the manufacturer or industry terminology.

Application:

This type of cable is commonly used in power distribution networks, including feeder lines for industrial plants, power stations, and substations. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, capable of being laid in cable ducts, on cable trays, underground, or directly buried, provided the environmental conditions do not demand additional protective measures like armoring.

Standards:

The cable is manufactured according to various standards ensuring its reliability and safety in medium voltage applications. These standards might include those set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), or other relevant national and international standards, which specify requirements for conductor size, insulation quality, voltage rating, and operational performance.
