Section 2
Conductor material and size
•Copper conductor common for larger loads
•When both copper and aluminum conductors can meet your
requirements, the more economical solution will be a function
of the metal and the cable component costs
Insulation thickness
•For cables with a radial moisture barrier, “Southwire Standard
Wall” reduced insulation thicknesses within the stress limits in
AEIC specification CS9 are recommended
•Cables referred to by “Traditional Wall” insulation (650 mils)
follow the traditional insulation wall practice referenced in ICEA
standard S-108-720 appendix F as still specified by a number of
customers and utilities
•For applications requiring smaller cable diameters,
specific designs are available upon request
Sheath material
•Copper and aluminum corrugated sheaths offer the best
mechanical and moisture protection for your HV cable,
and copper will provide better short circuit performance
and improved connectability
•Full wall cables with concentric neutrals are an economical
option for mostly dry environments
•Composite laminate sheaths in both copper and aluminum
that offer excellent protection against moisture ingress
Jacket
•Standard outer jacket: extruded LLDPE with a co-extruded outer
semi-conductive polyethylene layer for jacket integrity testing
•Halogen Free Fire Retardant (HFFR) compounds are
available upon request for installations in cable trays and
ventilated troughs
