5-46kV EPR SUPERDRI™ (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 EPROTENAX™ EPR insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, copper concentric neutral wires, water swellable agents, black sleeved 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. RIP CORDS: Two high-tensile-strength rip cords, longitudinally applied at 180° apart to facilitate easy jacket removal.
Water Blocking Agent: Water swellable tape applied longitudinally over the concentric neutrals, combined with an application of water swellable agents to resist longitudinal water penetration under the jacket.
Jacket: Sleeved, black, insulating, sunlight resistant, linear low-density polyethylene encapsulating the neutral wires with three extruded red stripes and NESC lightning bolt symbol.
