EmPowr® Fill Shielded Power Cable 15-35 kV (US)
Cross-linked semi-conducting conductor shield, insulation and semi-conducting insulation shield are extruded over a solid or stranded aluminum conductor and cured in a single operation. Corrugated copper tape and an extruded black jacket are applied over the cable core. These products meet the latest requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-97-682 and AEIC CS8, as applicable, for Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)- insulated shielded power cables.
Product Construction
Conductor: Solid or Class B compressed concentric lay stranded 1350 aluminum.
Conductor Shield: Extruded semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric stress control layer.
Insulation: Extruded Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Class II and III.
Insulation Shield: Extruded semi-conducting thermosetting layer, clean and free of stripping from insulation.
Longitudinally Applied Corrugated Tape: Copper, 8 or 10 mil thick Longitudinally Applied Corrugated Tape (LACT) with a minimum 375 mil overlap.
Jacket: Black, non-conducting, sunlight-resistant, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE).
