11kV 25kV 35kV 46kV Multi-layer XLPE Covered Aerial MV Cable 25mm 50mm
Construction
Conductors are concentrically stranded, 1350-H19 aluminum
(either compressed or full compact depending on conductor size).
Available with inner layer of natural PE or XLPE and an outer
layer of high-density track-resistant polyethylene (HDTRPE) or
Track-Resistant Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) covering. Strand
shield option available as shown in illustration.
Application
Used for primary and secondary overhead distribution where
limited space is available or desirable for rights of way. Installed
as an uninsulated conductor; however, covering is effective in
preventing direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers should tree
limbs or other objects contact conductors in such close proximity.
Installed with other Covered Aerial MV cables and a supporting
messenger through a series of space-maintaining devices
(spacers). The resulting close-proximity configuration minimizes
the amount of space and hardware required for line installation;
particularly useful in congested areas such as alleyways or
tight corridors.
Specification
