600 Volt USEB90 (Canada)
The 600 Volt USEB90 is a three-conductor cable consisting of two aluminum phase conductors insulated with low-temperature, moisture-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). This insulation provides a good balance of flexibility and mechanical strength. Additionally, the cable includes a concentrically applied, uninsulated neutral conductor, binder tape, and an overall PVC jacket, all arranged in parallel.
Construction
Conductors: Two Class B Compact conductors made from aluminum alloy 1350, compliant with ASTM standards.
Phase Insulation: High-dielectric-strength, low-temperature cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation provides an optimal balance of mechanical and electrical properties, ensuring extended cable life.
Assembly: A full or reduced copper neutral conductor is helically applied over the parallel phase conductors, followed by a binder tape over the neutral conductor.
Jacket: A black, low-temperature polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket is extruded over the assembly.
