Conductor: Class B Compact concentric strand aluminum alloy 1350 or soft drawn annealed copper per ASTM.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Natural high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR-based insulation, combined with other materials and agents that enhance the electrical and mechanical characteristics assuring extended cable life.
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield: Helically applied non-magnetic copper tape(s) over the insulation shield with a nominal overlap of 25%. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for phase identification - 1C w/ Red, 1C w/ Blue, and 1C w/ Black.
Grounding Conductors: Bare stranded copper conductor per UL, ICEA, and ASTM.
Assembly: Phase identified conductors cabled with fillers and grounding conductors, forming a firm and cylindrical cable core. A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Mechanical Protection: High strength and high crush resistant Air Bag™ layer extruded over the core assembly.
Chemical Protection: A layer of Drylam™ which consists of aluminum tape and a chemical resistant extruded polymer layer is applied.
Jacket: Sunlight and moisture resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket.
