Applications and Features:

Southwire's 46kV cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, direct burial, sunlight, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation. 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Jacket types available that can be installed in conduit without the aid of lubrication. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.

Specifications:

ASTM B3 Soft or Annealed Copper Wire

ASTM B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors

ASTM B33 Standard Specification for Tin-Coated Soft or Annealed Copper Wire

ICEA S-97-682 Standard for Shielded Utility Cable Rated for 5 - 46kV

AEIC CS-8 Specification for extruded dielectric shielded power cables rated for 5 through 46KV (Qualification Test Requirements)

Optional CSA 68.5: -40ºC and MV 90ºC optional marking available upon request
