15-46kV EPR TRIPLESEAL™ Cable (US)

15-46kV EPR TRIPLESEAL™ Cable (US)
Product description

Single conductor cable with filled strand 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, semiconducting water swellable layer, sealed LC Shield®, water swellable bridging tape, and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) jacket.

 

Product Construction

Conductors: Solid or Class B Compressed concentric strand aluminum alloy 1350 or soft drawn annealed copper per ASTM. Stranded conductors are water-blocked with STRANDSEAL® conductor filling compound. 

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. 

Water Swellable Layer: Semi-conducting water swellable tape applied underneath the LC Shield® to prevent longitudinal water migration. 

LC Shield®: A transversely corrugated copper tape is longitudinally applied over the semiconducting water swellable tape, overlapped, and sealed with a flexible hot-melt adhesive. This design prevents radial ingress of water into the insulation system and accommodates cable expansion and contraction during thermal cycling. Rip cords are applied under the LC Shield® and semi-conducting tape to facilitate removal. 

  • Water swellable agents over the LC Shield® and water swellable bridging tape centered over the LC Shield® overlap.

 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.
