PREMIUM SOLAR CABLE

Premium Nexans Medium Voltage Aluminum Power Cable meets all the requirements of the ICEA S-94-649 Standard. It has a 1350 aluminum conductor, concentric stranded with humidity blocking, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE-TR) insulation, concentric neutral in copper wires, water blocking tapes before and after the neutral wires, Polyethylene jacket, resistant to heat, abrasion and humidity, resistant to solar rays. Compounds free of hazardous substances (RoHS)

Application and Features

Power supply of 15kV Medium Voltage circuits at 133% insulation level, mainly the connection between the feeder transformer and the electrical distribution network. Cables suitable for installation in outdoors exposed to sunlight, underground ducts, directly buried, in dry or wet locations.
Main features:

  • Directly buried installation, according to ICEA S-94-649 standard.
  • Resistance to solar rays, complying with the test defined in the ICEA S-94-649 standard, exposure to 720 hours.
  • Cable designed to be permanently submerged in water according to the condition AD8, according to the test procedure of the NBR 14039 standard.

Construction

​1. Conductor: Compacted Aluminum, class B with moisture blocking.

2. Internal semi-conductor: Extruded compound.

3. Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene XLPE-TR. 

4. External semi-conductor: Peelable extruded compound.

These last three components extruded in CV (continuous vulcanization) of triple extrusion in the dry curing process.

5. Concentric Neutral: Made up of copper wires N=1/3, with water blocking tapes before and after the wires.

6. Outer jacket: LDPE compound resistant to heat, abrasion and humidity, resistant to solar rays (SR), black color.
