5-46kV EPR DOUBLESEAL® (US)
Single conductor cable with solid or filled strand 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, copper concentric neutral wires, water swellable agents, black encapsulating 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.
Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires, helically applied and uniformly spaced. Water-blocking agents are applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires to prevent longitudinal water penetration.
Jacket: Black insulating sunlight-resistant linear low-density polyethylene encapsulating the neutral wires with three extruded red stripes and NESC lightning bolt symbol.
