ASTM Standard 25kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable

ASTM Standard 25kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable

Specifications:

    25kV-XLPE Insulated Middle Voltage Power Cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation. PVC jacket is made with SIM technology and has a coefficient of friction COF of 0.2. Cable can be installed in conduit without the aid of lubrication.

Parameter Table

Application :

25kV-XLPE Insulated Middle Voltage Power Cables for primary underground distribution in conduit systems suitable for use in wet or dry locations, direct burial, underground duct, and where exposed to sunlight. To be used at 25kV or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C for normal operation.

Construction :

Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy, Aluminium or >copper conductor. Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE).
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced.
Water Block: Water-blocking agents applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires to resist longitudinal water penetration.
Jacket: Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) Jacket, black with red extruded stripes.
