5-46kV TRXLPE SUPERDRI® CSA Cable (Canada)
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 sleeved linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) jacket.
Product Construction
Conductors: Solid or Class B Compact & 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, insuring resistance to treeing.
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 Agents: 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 with three extruded red stripes.
