THHW-LS wires and cables are general purpose products for low-voltage distribution
and illumination systems, in public and residential buildings, industrial constructions,
recreational and commercial centers.
The electric installation standard demands that it be used in places with a high
concentration of people. Because of its excellent flame retardant propagation
characteristics, low emission of smoke, and low content of acid gas, they are
recommended for enclosed areas where a large number of people are to be found,
like theaters, offices, hospitals, etc.
It may be installed in conduit, ducts or trays.
Characteristics
Maximum operating voltage: 600 V.
Maximum operating temperatures in conductor: 60°C in the presence of oil, 75°C
in wet environments, 90°C in dry environments, 105°C in emergency, and 150°C in
short circuit.
Emergency conduction is limited to 1500 accumulative hours during the lifespan of
the cable and no more than 100 hours within 12 consecutive months. Short circuit
conditions in conductor are based on that stated by the standard:
ICEA P-32-382. They are manufactured in the following gauges:
*Wires, from 2,08 to 5,26 mm (14 to 10 AWG).
*Cables, from 2,08 to 507 mm (14 AWG to 1000 KCM).
Fire retardant characteristics, low emission of smoke, and low content of acid gas.
Available in several colors and packing.
Advantages
They meet the fire retardant test (NMX-J-093), low smoke emission (NMX-J-474)
and low acid gas content (NMX-J-472) tests.
Suitable for installation in wet or dry places, or in the presence of oils. They offer
excellent electrical, chemical and mechanical characteristics.

V. OVERHEAD AND UNDERGROUND DISTRIBUTION
15, 25 And 35 KV Semi-Insulated Cables
General Description
Cable with copper, aluminum (AAC) or steel-reinforced aluminum (ACSR) with
semiconductor mesh extruded over conductor and insulation – black cross-link
polyethylene (XLP) jacket.
Specifications
Semi-insulated cables comply with the following specifications:
CFE E0000-29: Semi-insulated cables for 15 to 25 kV overhead power lines.
Main Applications
Semi-insulated cables are used in medium voltage overhead power distribution
systems, through wooded areas.
Characteristics
Maximum operating voltage: 15, 25 and 35 kV.
Maximum operating temperature: 90°C.
Copper conductors are hard-drawn.
Aluminum conductors are hard-drawn 1350 alloy (H19) and steel core.
Black insulation-jacket makes it sunlight-resistant.
As they do not have an insulation mesh, these cables are considered non-insulated,
thus must be handled with the care and precautions you would any non-insulated
cable.
Advantages
Cross-link polyethylene (XLP) insulation-jacket helps it resist abrasion caused by
tree branches.
Sunlight-resistant.
Hard-drawn aluminum cables and ACSR-type cables allow installations with a longer
post-to-post distance.
