The Re3™ Medium Voltage (MV) Cable Life, Safety & Sustainability Index (LSSI) is a comparative evaluation tool developed to assist engineers, specifiers, and end users in assessing and comparing MV cable design attributes associated with expected service life, safety performance, and sustainability objectives. The LSSI score is generated using selected design inputs, industry standards, engineering assumptions, and weighted scoring methodologies.
The LSSI is intended solely as an informational and decision-support resource. It does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, certification, or prediction of actual cable performance, service life, reliability, safety, regulatory compliance, environmental impact, or fitness for a particular application. Actual results may vary significantly due to factors including, but not limited to, system design, installation practices, operating conditions, loading, maintenance, environmental exposure, manufacturing variations, and unforeseen events.
Users remain solely responsible for conducting appropriate engineering analysis, code compliance reviews, risk assessments, and application-specific evaluations. Decisions regarding cable selection, specification, installation, operation, and maintenance should not be based solely on the LSSI score.
Southwire reserves the right to revise the underlying methodologies, weighting factors, scoring criteria, and calculations without notice. Use of the Re3™ LSSI constitutes acceptance of these limitations and acknowledgement that the tool is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
Re3™ LSSI should be used as a comparative engineering aid and not as a substitute for professional engineering judgment, applicable standards, regulatory requirements, or project-specific design reviews.
