397.5 MCM 19 Stranded Hard Drawn Aluminum Covered Shield Polyethylene 46KV Spacer Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 397.5 MCM 19 Stranded Hard Drawn Aluminum Covered Shield Polyethylene 46KV Spacer Cable:100 Amps

About:

Covered conductors consist of stranded hard drawn aluminium conductors with either one, two or three extruded layers depending on the voltage rating. Covered conductors are available in black or gray depending on visual preference.

Also Known As:

• 46KV Aluminum Spacer Cable
• 46KV Tree Wire
• 46KV Covered Aerial Medium Voltage (MV) Cable
• High-Voltage Insulated Aerial Cable

Application:

Covered conductors are designed to be used in spacer cable systems. Conductors are suspended from the messenger using Hendrix polyethylene spacers. Covered conductors are rated for continuous operation at 75°C.

Benefits:

• Covering prevents faults due to contact
• Proprietary, high density outer layer resists abrasion, electrical tracking and UV degradation.
• Reduced NESC phase spacing is possible due to high impulse strength covering.

Standards:

• ANSI/ICEA S-76-474, which outlines the specifications for neutral-supported power cable assemblies with weather-resistant extruded insulation for voltages up to 46 kV.
• ASTM standards relevant to aluminum conductors, such as ASTM B230 and B231, which ensure that the aluminum used is of high quality and suitable for electrical purposes.

Construction:

• Conductor: 397.5 MCM 19 Stranded Hard Drawn Aluminum Covered Shield Polyethylene 46KV Spacer Cable AWG 19-strand hard-drawn aluminum, optimized for electrical efficiency and mechanical durability.
• Insulation: Polyethylene insulation provides robust electrical isolation and protection against environmental stressors.
• Shielding: A shield layer, possibly concentric neutral wires or an extruded layer, offering additional electrical and mechanical protection.
• Jacketing: While not all spacer cables have an outer jacket, this layer, if present, would offer extra protection against physical damage and environmental factors.

Features:

• High Voltage Capacity: Suitable for 46KV applications, facilitating efficient power distribution over long distances and high load scenarios.
• Durability: Engineered with materials and a construction design meant to withstand harsh environmental conditions and mechanical stress.
• Compliance with Standards: Meets stringent industry standards, ensuring reliability and safety in utility applications.
• Environmental Resistance: The insulation and any additional protective layers are designed to resist UV light, moisture, and chemical exposure, enhancing longevity and performance reliability.
