XLPE/PVC insulated aluminum concentric cables

Complete Cable:

USEB-90 Underground Service Entrance Cable consists of two compact aluminum conductors individually insulated with RW90 XLPE insulation, laid in parallel, with a helical plain copper wire serving and an overall PVC jacket covering. Thecopper wire serving is the neutral. The product meets the USEB-90 cable requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 52.

Conductors:

The aluminum stranded conductors are Class B compact 1350-H16 (3/4 hard) aluminum.

Insulation:

The insulation is a black Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) meeting the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 38 for Type RW90 insulation.

Neutral Conductor:

An annealed, plain copper wire serving is applied over top of the two power conductors. The neutral conductor may be equal to the equivalent copper AWG size of the power conductor, or it may be reduced.

Binder/Separator Tape:

A separator tape is applied overtop the helically applied neutral conductor wires.

Jacket:

Black PVC jacket is extruded over top of the cable assembly. The jacket is a weather- resistant, sunlight-resistant, 60°C/-40°C FT1- rated material.

Phase Identification:

Both of the XLPE insulated power conductors are black. One conductor will have a white coloured print legend on the surface of the insulation. The print legend includes the required CSA markings and General Cable manufacturing plant code,

year marking, and “1-ONE-1” printed phase identifier. The other conductor will only have the “2-TWO-2” marking. All cables provided with sequential print marking.

Features and Benefits:

The USEB-90 cables are suitable for direct burial or installed in ducts. 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 USEB-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 duringstorage.
