UVS Metering Cable

These multiconductor cables are specifically designed for outdoor metering applications. They are semi-flexible and suitable for both AC and DC use in dry or wet locations. These cables can be installed as aerial cables, within conduits or troughs, or directly buried. The conductors are insulated with PE/PVC, providing excellent physical and electrical properties. 

Additionally, the PVC jacket offers superior resistance to oil, chemicals, and moisture.

Design Parameters 

Conductors: Class C (19-strand) soft-drawn tinned copper per ASTM B 8 and ASTM B33. 

Insulation: Heat and moisture-resistant black polyethylene (PE) meeting ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC 57), suitable for wet or dry locations at a temperature not to exceed 75°C. 

Conductor Jacket: UV-stabilized polyvinylchloride (PVC) compound meeting ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC 57). 

Circuit Identification: PVC jacket coded in accordance with ICEA S-73-532 Appendix E Method 1. 

Assembly: Individual conductors are cabled, with non-hygroscopic fillers where necessary, to form a round compact core and wrapped with a binder. The jacket is applied over the taped core; a ripcord under the jacket aids stripping.

 Jacket: Heat and moisture-resistant black PVC meeting ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC 57).
