15-46kV TRXLPE TRIPLESEAL™ CSA Cable (Canada)

15-46kV TRXLPE TRIPLESEAL™ CSA Cable (Canada)
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 VOLTALENE® TRXLPE insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, Water Swellable Layer, LC Shield ®, Water Swellable Bridging Tape, 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 VOLTALENE™ TRXLPE insulation, exhibiting an optimum balance of mechanical and electrical properties, assuring resistance to treeing. 

Insulated 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®.

LC Shield®: A transversely corrugated copper tape is longitudinally applied over the semiconducting water swellable tape, overlapped, and sealed with a flexible hotmelt 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 semiconducting 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.
