Specifications include, but are not limited to: This specification covers #280058902, #280058909, and #280058910 Copper l5kV cable for single-phase and three-phase applications in conduit and at voltages up to 15,000 volts multi-grounded wye. Cable shall meet all applicable standard of ICEA S-94-649. 2.1 CONDUCTOR – 500, 750, and 1000 MCM soft annealed copper, compact strand, size as specified, and shall conform to ASTM specification B-496, with 1/3 neutral. The cable shall be designed and constructed so that it will operate at normal operating temperatures of at least 90℃ maximum, emergency operating temperatures of at least 130℃, and short circuit operating temperatures of at least 250℃. The cable shall be suitable for a minimum installation of -40℃. 2.2 CONDUCTOR SHIELD – The conductor shield shall be an extruded black-colored, semi-conducting compound for discharge-free designs. The compounds shall be EPR based, compatible with insulation and the conductor and shall have allowable operating temperatures equal to or higher than those of the insulation. The outer surface of the conductor shield shall be cylindrical and shall be firmly bonded to the overlying insulation. The extruded shield shall be free stripping from the conductor and leave no pieces or residue on the conductor. The thickness of the conductor shield at any location shall be per ICEA S-94- 649. 2.3 INSULATION - Shall be EPR of nominal thickness 0.220 inches and shall conform to ICEA S-94-649. 2.4 INSULATING SHIELD – The insulation shield for discharge-free cable designs, shall be extruded, blackcolored, semi conducting compound applied directly over the insulation. The compound shall be EPR based. The cross-linked compounds shall meet the elongation and brittleness test requirements given in ICEA S-94-649. The thickness of the insulation shield at any location when measured on completed cable according to the Thickness Measurement Procedure shall be in accordance with ICEA S-94-649. The insulation shield shall be free stripping from the insulation surface, leaving no semi-conducting particles or residue. The cable insulation shield shall have a pull strength of not less than 3 pounds and not greater that 16 pounds. All other technical features of ICEA S-94-649 shall apply. The insulation shield compound will be compatible with the insulation and the metallic shield. 2.5 CONCENTRIC NEUTRAL – 500 MCM, 750 MCM and 1000 MCM shall consist of AWG- bare, uncoated, soft-drawn copper wire with a lay of 6 to 10 times the diameter over the concentric wires, and shall conform to applicable sections of ICEA S-94-649. 2.6 Jacket – The overall jacket shall be black, sunlight resistant, insulating, linear low density polyethylene and shall substantially fill the spaces between the concentric wires. For 500, 750, and 1000 MCM, the jacket shall be .080” minimum average thickness when measured above the neutral wire. The jacket shall be free stripping from the insulation screen and concentric neutral wires. Three extruded red stripes shall be applied to the jacket 120 degrees apart. The jacket shall be printed with all appropriate identification per ICEA S-94-649-2000, part 8. Additionally, the manufacturer shall print sequential footage markings every 2 feet.
