Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 550 MCM 1C rm//25 Stranded Bare Copper Tape Shielded XLPE PE N2XS2Y 6/10KV Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This designation describes a medium voltage cable with a 550 MCM American Wire Gauge (AWG) single core made of rm/16 stranded bare copper. It is designed with tape shielding and has cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for insulation and polyethylene (PE) as an outer jacket. This cable is rated for 6/10KV applications, ideal for transmitting electricity at medium voltage levels efficiently and safely.

Also Known As:

This type of cable might not have a widely recognized nickname, but it is identified by its specifications. For instance, "550 MCM AWG 1C rm/16" specifies the size and construction of the conductor, "Stranded Bare Copper" describes the conductor type, "Tape Shielded" indicates it has a shielding layer, and "XLPE PE" denotes the insulation and sheath materials.

Application:

Suitable for installation mostly for power supply stations, in indoors and in cable ducts, outdoors, underground, and in water as well as for installation on cable trays for industries, switch-boards and power stations. Due to the good laying characteristics, this can also be laid easily in difficult line guideways. See DIN VDE 0298 part 1
