EmPowr® Fill Underground Distribution Cable 15-35 kV

EmPowr® Fill Underground Distribution Cable 15-35 kV
Product description

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. Uncoated copper neutral wires (helically applied) and an extruded-to-fill black jacket are applied over the cable core. These products meet the latest requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8 and RUS U1 as applicable for Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulated concentric neutral cable.

 

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. 

Concentric Neutral: Helically applied, annealed, solid bare copper wires. 

Jacket: Black, non-conducting, sunlight-resistant, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) extruded to fill spaces between neutral wires.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Triple extruded for clean interfaces
  • Class 10,000 environment utilized for cable core material handling
  • Flexibility for easy handling
  • Excellent moisture resistance
  • Deformation-resistant
  • High dielectric strength
  • Low dielectric loss
  • Excellent resistance to water treeing
  • Clean-stripping insulation shield without the use of a release agent
  • Sunlight-resistant 

 

Temperature Rating

  • Normal 105°C
  • Emergency 140°C (Operation at the emergency overload temperature shall not exceed 1500 hours cumulative during the lifetime of the cable)
  • Short Circuit 250°C

 

Applications

EmPowr® Fill cables are intended for use in dry or wet locations for the distribution of single or three-phase medium-voltage power. Cables with a full neutral are designed for use on single-phase underground distribution (UD) applications. Cables with a 1/3 neutral are designed for use in three-phase UD applications. The full neutral cable is sometimes referred to as an underground residential distribution (URD) cable. These cables may be installed in ducts or direct buried.
