PowrServ® XL Underground Secondary Cable Type USEI-90 (Canada)

PowrServ® XL Underground Secondary Cable Type USEI-90 (Canada)
Product description

USEI-90 Underground Service Entrance Cable consists of two, three, or four compact aluminum conductors individually insulated with black RW90 XLPE insulation, a colored PVC jacket, and twisted together. The neutral conductor will be white. The product is CSA Certified and meets the USEI-90 cable requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 52. 

 

Product Construction

Conductors: The aluminum stranded conductors are Class B compact 1350 aluminum. 

Insulation: The insulation is sunlight-resistant, black Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) that meets the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 38 for Type RW90 insulation. 

Jacket: A continuous layer of PVC is extruded over the insulation. The jacket is a weather- and sunlight-resistant, non-sulphide-staining, cut-through-resistant, 90°C/-40°C FT1-rated material. 

Neutral Conductor: One of the insulated conductors is identified as a neutral conductor by the use of a white coloured PVC jacket. The neutral conductor may be the same size as the power conductor, or it may be reduced. 

Phase Identification: Phase identification is provided by means of jacket color coding. A three-conductor cable consists of a red and a black-colored power conductor and a white-colored neutral. A four-conductor cable consists of a red, black, and blue-colored phase conductor and a white-colored neutral. All cables are provided with sequential print marking.

 

Features and Benefits

The USEI-90 cables are suitable for direct burial or installation in ducts and are resistant to cut-through and sunlight. The cable is rated 600 V phase-to-phase, with a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C in wet or dry locations. 

 

Applications

CSA USEI-90 cable is intended for use in underground systems operating at 600 V or less. The cables are intended for underground installation, either directly buried or in duct systems, in accordance with the CEC (CSA C22.1) and CSA C22.3 No. 7 Underground Systems. Portions of the cable may be exposed to sunlight on termination poles and during storage.
