Strand-fll sometimes called moisture-block is a tar like substance that is applied between each lay-er of a concentric stranded copper or aluminum phase conductor. During the stranding process and at slightly elevated temperatures this tar like substance becomes fuid enough to be forced through a pump and applied geometrically in such a manner that the interstitial space between every strand is flled with the tar. The tar is then allowed to cool whereas it becomes stable and remains in place.

A dual rated cable is a cable that lists two different voltage ratings on its jacket. For instance, a cable with 115 mils insulation thickness may have a jacket with a print legend that lists both 5kV and 8kV voltages at 133% and 100% insulation levels respectively on it. Therefore, this cable may be used on both 5kV and 8kV systems.
