Applications
FIREX®-II TECK Cables, originally
developed for use in Canadian
mines, are flexible, resistant to
mechanical abuse, corrosion
resistant, compact and reliable. They
are suitable for a wide range of
applications, including ALL
hazardous locations.
Industries such as pulp and paper,
chemical, petroleum and other
primary and secondary
manufacturing industries have used
FIREX®-II TECK Cables, particularly in
areas where cables are subject to the
risk of mechanical damage and
chemical attack.

However, in spite of the widespread
and long-standing use of PVC in
residential and commercial buildings,
all purchasers of PVC insulated/
jacketed products should be aware of
the following:
• Non-metallic coverings of electrical
cables can burn and may transmit
fire when ignited.
• Burning non-metallic coverings may
emit acid gases which are toxic and
may generate dense smoke.
• Emission of acid gases may corrode
metal in the vicinity; e.g. sensitive

Construction Data
Conductors
ASTM Class B stranded soft bare
copper. In sizes 8 AWG to 1000
kcmil, the conductors are compact
stranded to reduce cable diameter and
weight. Aluminum conductors can be
provided on special request.
Conductor Shield
Extruded semiconducting cross-linked
polyethylene conductor shielding is
applied to cables rated over 1000 V.
Insulation
EXELENE® Insulation is used in Nexans
FIREX®-II TECK Cables. EXELENE® is
the Nexans trademark for cross-linked
polyethylene, the most widely used
polymeric material for insulating both
low and high voltage cables. The
insulated conductors in the unshielded
TECK cables rated 5 kV or less meet
the requirement of CSA for RW90
XLPE. Shielded FIREX®-II TECK
armoured power cables rated 5 kV or
higher are insulated with tree-retardant
unfilled EXELENE® meeting the
requirements of CSA Standard
C68.3-97 (R2001).
Designs are also available employing
AEIC-CS8-2000 insulated conductors
5 kV shielded and above.
Insulation Shield
Shielded FIREX®-II TECK Power cables
rated 5 kV and higher have an
extruded layer of strippable semiconducting insulation shielding material,
applied using the EXELCURE® process.
In multiconductor cables, the metallic
shield is copper tape, while in the
single conductor cables the concentric
ground provides the metallic shield.
Specific designs of metallic shielding
can be provided where required to
meet special conditions.
For shielded cable, Nexans has
introduced EXELCURE®, its state of the
art process of dry curing insulation
4
systems. A reduction in moisture levels
during the curing process will reduce
the size and the number of voids in the
cable insulation resulting in longer
electrical life.
Radiant heat from the electrically
heated tube cures the polymer in a
pressurized dry nitrogen atmosphere.
Curing temperatures are in the
neighbourhood of 200–300 degrees
Celsius at a pressure of ten
atmospheres. A scanning laser beam
monitors and controls the diameter of
the cable to preset conditions.
Detailed operating parameters are
maintained by a programmable microprocessor and display panel which
controls all heats, curing tube
temperature profile, pressures, cooling
levels and nitrogen pressurization
sequence.
Equipment Bonding
Conductor
Armour
Interlocking aluminum tape armour is
applied directly over the inner jacket.
Galvanized steel is also available on
request, but only for multiconductor
cables.
Outer Jacket
Low-acid-gas-emitting(b) fire-retardant(c)
PVC rated for low temperature is used.
See adjacent table for the physical
properties of this jacket material. The
standard outer jacket colour is black
for 600 V and 1 kV; orange for 5 kV;
and red for 15 kV. Other outer jacket
colours are available on special
request.
(a) “Flame retardant” means that a
cable with this material will pass the
“FT1” Flame Test, Clause 4.11.1 of
CSA Standard C22.2 No. 0.3–01,
Test Methods for Electrical Wires and
Cables.
Class B stranded soft bare copper is
the standard equipment bonding
conductor material. Sizes are in
accordance with Table 16 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. In
single conductor cables the equipment
bonding conductor is in the form of
concentric wires over the insulation or
shield. In three conductor cables with
metallic shielding the equipment
bonding conductor is in contact with
the shields.
(b) “Low acid gas emitting” means that
this material will not exceed the low
acid gas evolution limit of 14% when
tested in accordance with CSA
Standard C22.2 No. 0.3–01. Cables
are identified with the designation
“AG14”.
Fillers
Marking and
Identification
Where fillers are required, nonhygroscopic materials are used.
Core Binder
Where required, a binder tape is
applied over the assembled core.
Inner Jacket
The black PVC jacket is 90°C and low
temperature rated, flame retardant(a),
and low acid gas emitting(b). See
adjacent table for physical properties
of this jacket material.
(c) “Fire retardant” means that a cable
with this material will pass the “FT4”
requirements of CSA Standard C22.2
No. 0.3–01 (Clause 4.11.4).

FIREX®-II TECK Cable Specifications
The tables in this catalogue give
essential data for FIREX®-II TECK
90 Minus 40°C and FIREX®-II
TECK armoured power cables.
The following should be borne
in mind when using these
tables:
Dimensions and weights are
approximate and subject to
manufacturing tolerances. Weights
shown are for cable only; add 20% to
obtain estimated shipping weight.
100% Insulation Level may be used in
systems where faults will clear within
one minute. Such systems may be
grounded or ungrounded. 133%
Insulation Level is recommended
wherever fault clearing times may
exceed one minute but not one hour,
and where additional insulation
strength is desired. For other cases,
including resonant grounded systems
and where fault clearing time may
exceed one hour, 173% Insulation
Level is recommmended.
Ampacities based on Rule 4-004 and
Table 1 and 2 of CSA C22-1 – 2002
(Canadian Electrical Code) apply to
cables with copper conductors rated
up to and including 5000 V. Single
conductor cables may require
derating in accordance with CEC Rule
4-008.
For cables rated over 5000 V,
ampacities are based on ICEA
Publication P-46-426. Inspection
authority agreement is required to use
these values. The equipment bonding
conductor sizes shown are specified in
CSA C68.3-97 (R2001) and are based
on the requirements of Table 16 and
on the ampacities of Table 2 of the CE
Code. These cables may also be used
for lower voltage cables in
accordance with CEC, Appendix B
note on Rule 4-004.
As noted in Appendix “B” (notes on
Rule 4-004) of the Canadian Electrical
Code, ampacities other than those
shown in Tables 1 and 2 may also be
used for cables rated up to 5000 V.
This note, as well as tables in
Appendix “D”, give ampacities of
cables direct buried or in
underground raceway (duct).
Cable fitting data is based on
information published by the relevant
manufacturers for non-hazardous
locations. CSA certified fittings of
manufacturers other than those shown
may also be used. When ordering
fittings, it is recommended that the
cable dimensions be provided to the
fitting supplier to ensure proper fit. In
some instances the fittings shown may
require the removal of the inner
jacket.
Enquiries are invited for cables of
other sizes and voltage ratings to
comply with special requirements.
Information on fittings for hazardous
locations is available from Nexans
and fittings manufacturers.

Inductive Reactance
The inductive reactance of cables in a multicable circuit is:
( )
GMD
XL = 0.0754 ln GMR Ω/km to neutral at 60 Hz
where
GMD = equivalent axial spacing or axial distance between the phase
conductors in the circuit in mm
GMR = geometric mean radius of the phase conductor. For compact
round conductors GMR = 0.38 × conductor diameter. (See Stranded
Bare Copper and Aluminum Conductor Information.)
Capacitive Reactance
Capacitive reactance is calculated from capacitance:
Xc =
1 = 2650 Ω×km at 60 Hz
2πfC
C
where C = capacitance in µF/km
For single conductor insulated, and shielded cables with outer metallic layer:
C = 0.0556 ε µF/km
ln (D/d)
ε = dielectric constant of insulation (= 2.3 for XLPE)
D = diameter over cable dielectric
d = diameter under cable dielectric
Note: Capacitive reactance can normally be neglected for open lines up to
about 40 km or in cables up to 20 km in length.
where
Charging Current
Charging current is calculated from capacitance and voltage as follows:
lch = 2πfCE = 377 CE mA/km at 60 Hz
where
C = capacitance in µF/km (see above)
E = line to neutral voltage in kV
Voltage Drop
For multi conductor cables and single conductor cables at close spacing, voltage
drop may be determined by use of the method shown in the following pages.
Where necessary to calculate for single conductors spaced apart, the following
formula will give sufficiently accurate results:
Es – Er = l (R cosφ + XL sinφ) V/km to neutral

Voltage Drop
The voltage drop curves contained in this publication are applicable to aluminum
armoured TECK cables. For steel armoured TECK cables, increase the values
obtained from the curves by 20% to estimate the voltage drop.
In the table for 3 phase 60Hz Voltage Drop Single Conductor TECK are curves of
voltage drop for single and 3 conductor cables with copper conductors, 3 phase,
60 cycles. The voltage drop for 4 conductor cables, such as in a 3 phase, 4 wire
grounded neutral system, may be taken from the curve for a 3 conductor cable,
where the fourth conductor carries only unbalance current of a 3 phase system.
The voltage drop curves are generated using the following formula:
Voltage Drop = Rcosθ + XLsinθ (volts/amp-km)
where:
R = AC resistance (ohms/km)
XL = inductive reactance (ohms/km)
θ = load power factor angle
(NB: 100cosθ = % load power factor)
To calculate the net voltage drop for a specific application, the following formula
must be used to account for systems other than 3 phase, circuit length and current:
Net Voltage Drop = f x K x I x L

Installation and Technical Data
SOLUTION
Find the K factor from the single conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250
kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:
K = 0.250 volts per 1000 amp meters
therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:
Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.250 x 200 x 250
1000
Voltage Drop = 12.5 volts
or
Voltage Drop = 12.5 x 100%
Voltage Drop = 347
Voltage Drop = 3.6%
Example 2
Consider the above example with a three-conductor TECK and the same
conditions.
SOLUTION
Find the K factor from the three conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250
kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:
K = 0.195 volts per 1000 amp meters
therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:
Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.195 x 200 x 250
1000
Voltage Drop = 9.75 volts
or
Voltage Drop = 9.75 x 100%
Voltage Drop = 347
Voltage Drop = 2.8%

TECK Short circuit Capacity – XLPE Insulated Copper Conductors
Short circuit Calculations
The short circuit capabilities of the conductors of a cable for a given duration
depend principally on their heat capacities, and are limited by the maximum
temperature permitted under short-circuit conditions. The temperature limits
established by Nexans are as follows:
250°C at phase conductor
200°C at shield or concentric bonding conductor
The following graph provides a means of estimating the short circuit capacity of
copper XLPE or TRXLPE Insulated conductors. These curves are plotted for
durations in cycles (60 Hz basis). Logarithmic interpolation will provide values for
intermediate durations. The curves may also be used to determine the amount of
conducting material required for a known short-circuit condition.
It is important to limit short circuit durations to no more than 2 or 3 seconds as no
heat flow is taken into account in the functions used to calculate these curves.

Pulling Tension Limits
It is recommended that FIREX® -II TECK Cables be pulled on the conductors using
a pulling eye where necessary. The maximum permissible tension is 8 lbf/kcmil
(=10,000 lbf/in2) for single conductor cables. For three conductor cables
recommended maximum pulling tension is 16 lbf/kcmil based on the area of one
conductor only. To avoid displacing the armour it may be necessary to use a
basket grip over the outer jacket as well as the pulling eye. The use of guide
rollers or other friction-reducing devices is highly recommended.
Low-temperature Installation
Nexans FIREX® -II TECK Cables meet CSA cold bend and impact requirements at
minus 40°C. These tests are conducted under carefully controlled laboratory
conditions to ensure comparability of results from different laboratories.
Since actual field conditions are not subject to such control it is recommended
that, wherever possible, provision be made for the heating of cables to at least
minus 10°C until the actual cable installation. This will minimize the risk of
damaging cables in very cold weather.
Vertical Installation
For vertical installations, the use of a messenger may be necessary to support the
cable during installation. Offsets may well be necessary for final positioning of
the cable. Please consult your nearest Nexans Sales Office for recommendations
and information on Vertex cable.
Bending Radius
Nexans FIREX® -II TECK Cables are flexible and can be trained easily. The
following table gives minimum bending radius factors for final training. During
installation, and especially while pulling, bending radii should be twice the values
shown below:
Up to 5 kV
(Unshielded)
Over 5 kV and all
metal tape shielded
cable
7 x Outside Diameter
12 x Outside Diameter
Note: The bending radius is that of the inner surface of the cable at the bend.
In all cases these values are for permanent training after installation. Larger radii
are recommended wherever the cable is being pulled under tension, preferably not
less than twice and in no case less than 1.5 times the values for permanent
training.
36
Installation and Technical Data
Pulling Tension Calculations
The maximum pulling tension on a cable should not exceed:
a) where pulled by means of the conductor(s)
70nA newtons (N) for copper
50nA N for aluminum
where n = 1 for single conductor cable
1.5 for 2C cable
2 for 3C cable and for triplexed 1C cables
A = cross-section of one conductor (mm2)
b) where pulled by means of a basket grip over an outer jacket or
concentric wires 5000 N or value from (a) above, whichever is the lower.
The tension resulting from a given duct installation is calculated as follows:
a) T = 9.8 LWf (for a straight section)
where T = pulling tension, N
L = length of duct section, m
W = linear mass of cable, kg/m
f = coefficient of friction, typically 0.35
b) T = T2 + T1efa (for a duct with a bend)
where T 2 = tension for the straight section following the bend
(calculated as in (a) above)
T 1 = tension for the straight section preceding the bend
e = 2.71828
f = coefficient of friction
a = angle of bend, radians
efa is evaluated for some common conditions:

At any bend the tension should not exceed 3600 N/m of radius of the bend in
order to avoid excessive compression forces in the cable.
Assuming the illustrated duct layout and:
• triplexed 3 x 1/c 500 kcmil copper 15 kV cable
• linear mass = 11.0 kg/m
• f = 0.35
• pulling from A to F
Tension at B (T1) = 9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 2270 N
Tension at C (T2) = T1efa = 2270 x 1.32 = 3000 N
Tension at D (T3) = 3000 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 3755 N
Tension at E (T4) = T3efa = 3755 x 1.73 = 6500 N
Tension at F (T5) = 6500 + (9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 7630 N
37
Installation and Technical Data
The maximum permissible tension on this cable would be
70 x 2 x 253 = 35,420 N
The tension at E = 6500/3 = 2170 N/m of radius, which is not excessive;
however, it is prudent to reduce this value, if possible, by comparing the results if
the cable is pulled from F to A:
Tension at E (T1) = 9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 1130 N
Tension at D (T2) = 1130 x 1.73 = 1960 N
Tension at C (T3) = 1960 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 2715 N
Tension at B (T4) = 2715 x 1.32 = 3580 N
Tension at A (T5) = 3580 + (9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 5840 N
Pulling from F to A results in significantly lower tensions in the bends and overall,
and should be selected as the preferred direction of pulling.
Field Testing
Voltage tests after installation should
be made as soon as possible. Before
applying the test voltage, ensure that
all equipment is disconnected from the
cable circuit. Also ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the cable
ends and any grounded surfaces,
objects or persons. We recommend
that only qualified persons familiar
with the process and associated safety
precautions perform a D.C. Hipot test.
For all 5kV and higher shielded cable,
a high-voltage DC test made before
placing a new cable system in service
will normally reveal gross
imperfections such as mechanical
damage during installation or
improperly made accessories. It is not
expected to reveal deterioration due to
ageing in service.
At any time during installation, a Proof
Test may be made at a voltage not
exceeding that shown in the table
applied for five minutes.
These tests should only be undertaken
by persons familiar with the use of the
equipment and appropriate safety
precautions. If any equipment is
included beyond the cable
terminations, the dielectric strength of
such equipment must be taken into
consideration when establishing the
test voltage.
After installation and before the cable
is placed in regular service, an
Acceptance Test may be made at a
voltage not exceeding that shown in
the table applied for 15 consecutive
minutes.
After the cable has been completely
installed and placed in regular
service, a Maintenance Test may be
made at any time within the first five
years at a voltage not exceeding that
shown in the table applied for five
consecutive minutes. Recent research
has shown that the loss of dielectric
strength caused by normal wet aging
will shorten the cable life when

Wire and Cable Metric Calculations
Dimensions
Mass
Force or Tension
Length
mils x 0.0254 = mm (millimetres)
inches x 25.4 = mm
feet x 0.3048 = m (metres)
miles x 1.609344 = km (kilometres)
pounds x 0.45359 = kg (kilograms)
tons (2000 lb) x 0.907185 = t
(metric tonnes)
pounds (force) x 4.448 = N
(newtons)
mass (in kg) x 9.8066 = N
(weight at or near sea level)
Mass per unit length
lb/1000 ft. x 1.48816 = kg/km
(kilograms per kilometre)
lb/mi x 0.28185 = kg/km
Area
circular mils x 0.0005067 = mm2
(square millimetres)
sq. in x 645.16 = mm2
sq. ft. x 0.092903 = m2
(square metres)
sq. yd. x 0.836127 = m2
sq. mi. x 2.58999 = km2
(square kilometres)
Solid wire weight
mm2 x 8.89 = kg/km (for copper)
mm2 x 2.70 = kg/km (for aluminum)
mm2 x 7.83 = kg/km (for steel)
Temperature Conversion
Volume
cu. in. x 16.387 = cm3
(cubic centimetres)
cu. ft. x 0.028317 = m3
(cubic metres)
gallons x 4.54609 = L (litres)
U.S. gal. x 3.7854 = L (litres)
°F to °C: °C = (°F minus 32) x 5/9
°C to °F: °F = (°C x 9/5) plus 32
Force per unit area
(stress, pressure, tensile strength, etc.)
lbf/in2 = (psi) x 6.895 = kPa
(kilopascals)
lbf/in2 x 0.006895 = MPa
(megapascals)
N/mm2 = MPa
Note
Kilopascals are used generally for
fluid pressures. Megapascals are used
generally for stresses in materials, i.e.
for tensile stress, modulus of elasticity,
etc.
