Round Submersible Power Cable – High Dielectric

Product Description:

This cable is the round version of the submersible pump cable.  The cable relies on the powerful conductive properties of soft annealed copper to ampacities voltages up to 600 volts.  Annealed copper is a copper product that has been softened to enhance flexibility without compromising the conductivity of the copper metal.  The cable comes with the option of two, three or four phase conductors.  Each phase conductor is wrapped in high dielectric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation.  The insulation protects the conductors from abrasion as well as from corrosion due to exposure to oil, petrochemicals, water, acid gas, and sunlight.  A chloride jacket coats the aluminum armor and serves as the exterior skin of the cable.  The chloride jacket is the first line of defense against abrasion as well as sunlight, water, moisture, oil, and high or low temperatures.

Applications:

The High Dielectric Round Submersible Power Cable offers more flexibility than its flattened counterpart.  The cable is typically used in pump applications in residential, commercial, and industrial areas or any location with high amounts of water and moisture.  It is often used to in swimming pools, fountains, and sprinkler systems.  The cable is designed to operate in wet conditions, even when it is completely immersed in water.  Its PVC jacket protects the cable from unseen underwater hazards that may damage the conductors.  It passes the 210,000 BTU/hr flame test and is therefore suitable for use in locations with an increased risk of fire.  The cable holds a maximum temperature rating of 90°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions.  The cable can also be installed in conduit or in cable tray. 

Specifications:

-                In accordance with specifications set forth by Underwriters Laboratories, a compliance and regulations organization, the cable meets the criteria for Type TC cable.

-                Type TC cable is a classification for cable that is suitable for use in cable tray. 

-                The cable passes the 210,000 BTU/hr flame test.

Construction: 

-                Conductors

• The cable relies on the powerful conductive properties of soft annealed copper to ampacities voltages up to 600 volts.
• Annealed copper is a copper product that has been softened to enhance flexibility without compromising the conductivity of the copper metal. 
• The cable comes with the option of two, three or four phase conductors. 

-                Ground Conductor

• The cable includes a bare soft annealed copper ground conductor to ensure steady conductivity. 

-                Insulation

• Each phase conductor is wrapped in high dielectric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation.
• The insulation protects the conductors from abrasion as well as from corrosion due to exposure to oil, petrochemicals, water, acid gas, and sunlight.

-                Jacket

• A black chloride jacket encases the insulated conductors and serves as the exterior layer of the cable. 
• The outer jacket is the first line of defense against abrasion as well as sunlight, water, moisture, oil, and high or low temperatures.
