Construction:

Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
Conductor Shield:Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Insulation:Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
Overall Jacket:Thermoset SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (XL-LSZH)

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 2.4KV cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, direct burial, 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. Rated at -25°C for cold bend. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.

Specifications:

ASTM B3 Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire

ASTM B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors

UL 1072 Medium-Voltage Power Cables

ICEA S-96-659 (NEMA WC 71) 2001-5000 V Nonshielded Cables
