EmPowr® Underground Distribution - Primary Combined Duct & Cable
Product Construction
Complete Assembly: EmPowr® Combined Duct & Cable consists of an insulated conductor factory-installed in a black, high-density polyethylene conduit. The polyethylene conduit is extruded directly over any pre-made single medium-voltage cable.
Complete Cable: All underground distribution cables in EmPowr are manufactured and tested in accordance with applicable industry standards and/or individual customer specifications. See the appropriate catalog section for a complete cable description.
Conduit: The high-density polyethylene EPEC-A Conduit is manufactured and tested in accordance with NEMA Standard TC7, “Smooth-wall Coilable Electrical Polyethylene Conduit.”
Applications
EmPowr Combined Duct & Cable offers an economical alternative to pulling cable in previously installed short lengths of duct joined with sleeve couplings. The inherent construction advantages and versatility of the EmPowr design are ideally suited for underground primary distribution systems up to 46 kV.
Features and Benefits
In addition to the initial labor savings achieved by installing cable and conduit in a single operation, cable replacement costs and ground disruption are significantly lower with the EmPowr cable system. Tough, yet light and flexible, high-density polyethylene conduit provides ease of installation and high impact resistance for cable protection.
