Copper tape/wire shield for HV. Uniform voltage stress distribution. UL/CSA. For chemical plants steel mills.
Application
UL/CSA shielded power cable (5kV to 46kV) for chemical plants, refineries, steel mills, utility substations, and generating stations. Suitable for open air, conduit, duct, direct burial in wet or dry locations.
Core Strengths
Shield degradation increases failure risk in 46kV systems. Our copper tape/wire shield ensures uniform voltage stress distribution. CE compliant. Factory direct.
Standard
IEC60502, SANS 1339, BS 6622, AS/NZS1429.1, NFC 33226, CSA C 68.3, ICEA S 93-639 , ICEA S 94-649
Construction
☉〉 Conductor: Stranded copper (class 2)
☉〉 Conductor screen: Semiconductive layer
☉〉 Insulation: XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)
☉〉 Insulation screen: Semiconductive layer
☉〉 Copper tape screen: Helically applied copper tape
☉〉 Filler: Polypropylene (PP) or PVC filler
☉〉 Wrapping tape: Binding tape over cores
☉〉 Inner covering: PVC or PE
☉〉 Armor: Galvanized steel wire (SWA)
☉〉 Outer sheath: PVC or PE
Features
☉〉 Rated voltage: 5kV to 46kV (UL/CSA standard, suitable for 46kV max system)
☉〉 XLPE insulation – 90°C continuous, 250°C short‑circuit
☉〉 Copper tape screen – uniform electric field distribution, corona suppression, fault return path
☉〉 Steel wire armor – high tensile strength, excellent mechanical and crush resistance
☉〉 Suitable for chemical plants, refineries, steel mills, utility substations, generating stations
☉〉 Installation: open air, conduit, duct, direct burial (wet or dry locations)
☉〉 100% factory tested to UL/CSA or ICEA standards
