- Super Clean XLPE Insulation
Conductor Material and Size
Conductor material is a matter of both customer preference and required current carrying capacity
- Copper conductor common for larger loads
- When both copper and aluminum conductors can meet your requirements, the more economical solution will be a function of the metal and the cable component costs
Insulation Thickness:
- For cables with a radial moisture barrier, “Southwire Standard Wall” reduced insulation thicknesses within the stress limits in AEIC specification CS9 are recommended
- For applications requiring smaller cable diameters, specific designs are available upon request within the stress limits in AEIC specification CS9
Sheath material:
- Copper and aluminum corrugated sheaths offer the best mechanical and moisture protection for your HV cable, and copper will provide better short circuit performance and improved connectability
- Composite laminate sheaths in both copper and aluminum that offer excellent protection against moisture ingress
Jacket:
- Standard outer jacket: extruded LLDPE with a co-extruded outer semi-conductive polyethylene layer for jacket integrity testing
- Halogen Free Fire Retardant (HFFR) compounds are available upon request for installations in cable trays and ventilated troughs
