Applications and Features:

Southwire's 5kV HVTECK is a CSA armoured cable for industrial and commercial medium voltage applications. Rated FT4, -40°C, Hazardous Locations (HL). 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 for 1000 lbs /FT maximum sidewall pressure. These cables feature sunlight and moisture resistance, exceptional corona resistance, resistance to most chemical soils and acids and are flame retardant.

* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
* Calculations are based on 5 mil 25 % over lapping copper tape shield / Conductor temperature of 90°C / Shield temperature of 45°C / Earth resistivity of 100 ohms-meter
* Ampacities are based on Table D17N of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (40°C Ambient Air Temperature, indoor installation)
* Ampacities are based on Table D17E of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I
* CEC ampacities are based on:
3/C in air copper and aluminum: D17N
3/C direct buried copper and aluminum: D17E
