Construction:

Conductor:Class B compact stranded 8000 Series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B836
Conductor Shield:Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer; A conductor separator is used for cable size larger than or equal to 500 Kcmil
Insulation:220 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level,
Insulation Shield:Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Copper Tape Shield:Helically wrapped 5 mil copper tape with 25% overlap
Overall Jacket:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Silicone free

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 15KV cables are silicone free suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial when installed with a grounding conductor in close proximity that conforms to NEC section 311.36 and 250.4(A)(5), and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 105°C for normal operation, 140°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Rated at -35°C for cold bend. ST1 (low smoke) Rated for sizes 1/0 and larger. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.
