Specification

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

Allowable Ampacity for 500 STRANDED ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR 15KV URD at 90°C (in duct): 385 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 500 STRANDED ALUMINUM CONDUCTOR 15KV URD at 90°C (direct burial): 451 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:

500 stranded 15kv cable, 500 stranded medium voltage cable, 500 stranded medium voltage wire, 500 stranded copper tape shield, 500 stranded copper shielding, 500 stranded bury cable, 500 stranded direct burial cable, 500 stranded direct burial power cable, 500 stranded medium voltage power cables, 500 stranded 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.
