Specification

About:

This cable is part of the Okoguard series, which is known for high-performance power cables used primarily in utility and industrial applications. It is designed to transmit electricity at high voltages up to 46 kilovolts (kV) and is suitable for both direct burial and exposed installations.

Also Known As:

This cable may be commonly referred to by professionals as "46KV URO-J Cable" or "EPR Concentric Cable."

Application:

• Okoguard URO-J cables provide maximum circuit longevity in underground residential distribution systems. They can be buried direct or installed in underground ducts or conduits.

Standards:

• IEEE 1202: Standard for flame testing of cables for use in cable trays.
• IEEE 383: Standard for the testing of cables in adverse environments.
• ANSI/NEMA WC70/ICEA S-95-658: Power cable specifications.
• AEIC CS8: Specification for extruded dielectric shielded power cables rated 5 kV to 46 kV.

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated copper sizes 4/0 AWG through 1000 kcmil are compact round strand per ASTM B496. Uncoated copper sizes larger than 1000 kcmil are compressed Class B strand per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8. Aluminum per ASTM B609, compressed Class B strand per ASTM B231.
• Conductor Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation: Extruded Okoguard meets or ® exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen. Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Concentric Conductor: Bare copper concentric neutral wires helically applied.
• Jacket: Black OKOLENE LLDPE with red ® extruded stripes. Meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5 for polyethylene jackets.
