- Insulation Shield:Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
- Concentric Shield:Concentrically applied copper bond / shield wires. Complies with greater than the minimum requirement as per Table 44, CSA Standard C68.10 and Table 16A, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1
- Neutral Separator:Mylar tape
- Inner Jacket:PVC inner jacket
- Armour:Aluminum Interlocked Armour (AIA)
- Overall Jacket:Orange Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket
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) and 105°C for use in harsh Canadian environments. For installation in cable trays, duct banks, direct burial, troughs, continuous rigid cable supports and concrete encaseable. When used in a 3 phase system, the combination of each bond conductor from each single conductor cable provide a 100% bonded system to ground.
