15-46kV EPR LC SHIELD® (US)
Single conductor cable with stranded or solid aluminum or copper conductors, triple extruded insulation system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, LC Shield®, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) jacket.
Product Construction
Conductor: Solid or Class B Compressed concentric strand Aluminum alloy 1350 or soft drawn annealed copper per ASTM.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield that is free from stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Natural high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR-based insulation, combined with other materials and agents that enhance the electrical and mechanical characteristics, assuring extended cable life.
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation, providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
LC Shield®: A transversely corrugated copper tape is longitudinally applied over the insulation shield with an overlap. A bridging tape is applied at the overlap. This construction is effective at preventing moisture ingress into the insulation system and accommodates cable expansion and contraction during thermal cycling.
Jacket: Black insulating sunlight-resistant linear low-density polyethylene jacket tightly applied over the LC Shield® with three extruded red stripes and NESC lightning bolt symbol.
