Product Information

Specification

1 Solid Aluminum Conductor 15KV URD - 1/3 Neutral 133%

Allowable Ampacity for 1 SOLID ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR 15KV URD at 90°C (in duct): 143 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 1 SOLID ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR 15KV URD at 90°C (direct burial): 199 Amps

Applications:

15kV cable is an electrical wire and a medium voltage cable, installed through direct burial or in conduit, for underground distribution. This aluminum direct burial cable with copper shielding performs for normal operations at 90°C, emergencies at 130°C, and short-circuiting conditions at 250°C. The 15kV cable does not require pulling lubricants. This electrical cable is used in both wet and dry locations for 15,000 volts power circuits. 

Also Known As:

1 solid 15kv cable, 1 solid medium voltage cable, 1 solid medium voltage wire, 1 solid copper tape shield, 1 solid copper shielding, 1 solid bury cable, 1 solid direct burial cable, 1 solid direct burial power cable, 1 solid medium voltage power cables, 1 solid aluminum direct burial cable. 

Standards:

• IEEE 383 flame test (1/0 and larger)

• IEEE 1202 flame test (250MCM and larger) 

• UL 1072 type MV-105, sunlight resistance 

• CT use (1/0 and larger)

• AEIC CSB

Construction

Conductors:

15kV cable aluminum conductor is made of 1350 aluminum series, which is solid or compressed and soft drawn stranded in accordance with ASTM. The conductor has a filling compound and is water-blocked. 

Insulation:

The 15kV aluminum urd cable has TR-XLPE insulation, which offers high dielectric strength. EPR insulation is also available.

Metal shield:

The metal shield is concentric neutral and consists of solid bare copper wires that cover the insulation shield.

Jacket:

The 15kV cable jacket is black color coded for simpler identification and consists of linear lows density polyethylene (LLDPE). The jacket offers protection from heat, sunlight, and abrasion.
