General Cable EmPowr® 15 kV Concentric Neutral Underground Distribution Cable Al Cond. TRXLPE Insulation

Product Details

Complete Cable: Lead-free cross-linked semi-conducting conductor shield, insulation and semiconducting insulation shield are extruded over a solid or stranded aluminum conductor and cured in a single operation. Uncoated copper neutral wires (helically applied) and extruded-to-fill black jacket are applied over the cable core. These products meet the latest requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8 and RUS U1 as applicable for Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) insulated concentric neutral cable.

Conductor: Solid or Class B compressed concentric lay stranded 1350 aluminum. 

Conductor Shield: Extruded lead-free semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric stress control layer. 

Insulation: Extruded, unfilled, lead-free Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE).

Insulation Shield: Extruded lead-free semi-conducting thermosetting layer, clean and free stripping from insulation. 

Concentric Neutral: Helically applied, annealed, solid bare copper wires. 

Jacket: Black, non-conducting, sunlight-resistant, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) extruded to fill spaces between neutral wires. 

Features and Benefits: 
• Lead-free environmentally friendly cable 
• Triple-extruded for clean interfaces
• Dry nitrogen cure for enhanced performance 
• Class 10,000 environment utilized for cable core material handling 
• Excellent moisture resistance 
• High dielectric strength 
• Low dielectric loss 
• Excellent resistance to water treeing 
• Clean-stripping insulation shield 
• Sunlight-resistant 

Temperature Rating: 
• Normal - 90°C 
• Emergency* - 130°C 
• Short Circuit - 250°C 

Applications: EmPowr® Link+ cables are intended for use in dry or wet locations for distribution of single or three phase medium voltage power. Cables with a full neutral are designed for use on single phase underground distribution (UD) applications. Cables with a 1/3 neutral are designed for use in three phase UD applications. The full neutral cable is sometimes referred to as an underground residential distribution (URD) cable. These cables may be installed in ducts or direct buried.
