Parameter Table

Application :

35kV-XLPE Insulated Middle Voltage Power Cables used for primary underground distribution in conduit systems suitable for use in wet or dry locations, direct burial, underground duct, and where exposed to sunlight. To be used at 35kV or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C for normal operation.

Construction :

Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy, Aluminium or copper conductor. Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE).
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced.
Water Block: Water-blocking agents applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires to resist longitudinal water penetration. Longitudinal water penetration shall be tested in accordance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1 hour.
Jacket: Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Jacket, black with red extruded stripes.

Specifications:

ASTM B3 Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire.
