750 MCM 3C HVTECK Copper 115 mil TRXLPE TS AIA 5kV 133% or 8kV 100% IL Yellow PVC Jacket CSA

Application:

The  5kV / 8kV HVTECK is a CSA armoured cable for industrial and commercial medium voltage applications. Rated FT4, -40°C, Hazardous Locations (HL). These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 105°C for normal operation, 140°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. For installation in cable trays, duct banks, direct burial, troughs, continuous rigid cable supports and concrete encase able. Rated for 1000 lbs / FT maximum sidewall pressure. These cables feature sunlight and moisture resistance, exceptional corona resistance, resistance to most chemical soils and acids and are flame retardant 3 Conductor, 115 Mils Tree Retardant Cross Linked Polyethylene, 5kV 133% or 8kV 100% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Inner Jacket, Aluminum Interlocked Armour (AIA), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket
