Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 450 MCM 3C Stranded Aluminium Shield Overall BC Tape Red PE ARG7H1EX 12/20KV Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for medium voltage power transmission and distribution with a rating of 12/20 kV (kilovolts). The "450 MCM AWG 3C" signifies a three-conductor cable using 450 MCM American Wire Gauge (AWG) size, indicating the size of the conductors. The use of stranded aluminum for the conductors offers flexibility and effective conductivity.

Also Known As:

This type of cable might be referred to by various names depending on the context or manufacturer, such as "medium voltage aluminum conductor cable," "three-core aluminum shielded MV cable," or "12/20 kV aluminum MV cable." The specific naming can vary, but it typically reflects the key characteristics: voltage rating, conductor material, and number of conductors.

Application:

Such cables are typically used in power networks, for connecting power sources to substations, industrial plants, and large commercial buildings. They are also used in underground systems, power networks, outdoor and indoor applications, and in places where mechanical impacts on the cable are considered.

Standards:

The cable is likely designed to meet various international and regional standards relevant to medium voltage cables, which may include IEC 60502-2 for power cables above 1 kV, or other specific standards ensuring its performance, safety, and reliability. These standards dictate everything from conductor and insulation material to testing methods and performance requirements.
