Aluminum TR-XLPE Insulated Concentric Neutral Primary UD Cable

Aluminum TR-XLPE 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 TR-XLPE primary cable, TR-XLPE concentric neutral cable, Underground primary distribution cable,  Aluminum UD cable concentric neutral, TR-XLPE medium voltage cable,  Aluminum primary cable, direct burial TR-XLPE cable,  Aluminum neutral cable.

Standards:

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

Maximum operating voltage:
• 5kV-46KkV, 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. On request, strand filled. Sizes: 8 AWG — 1000 kcmil. 
• Conductor Shield: Semi conducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). On request, super clean and super smooth materials. 
• Insulation: Thermoset tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene (TR-XLPE).
• 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.
• True Triple extrusion system and closed handling raw materials system, to eliminate any contact with ambient, until extrusion of insulation and shields.
• Sealed conductor passes the production water penetration tests per ICEA-T-31-610 at 15 psi for 60 minutes.
