15KV Copper XLP MV PowerGlide Jacket
Copper Conductor. TRXLP Insulation. Bare Copper Concentric Neutrals. Engineered PowerGlide Polyethylene Jacket.
Application & Features
Predominantly used for primary underground distribution in conduit systems suitable for use in wet or dry locations, direct burial, underground duct, and where exposed to sunlight. The engineered PowerGlide polyethylene jacket allows the cable to slide through duct with less friction, resulting in longer pulls or longer pushes with less lubricant, or in some cases, no lubricant at all. To be used at 15,000 volts or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C for normal operation.

Standards & References
Southwire 15kV PowerGlide MV Primary UD Cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
- B3: Soft Annealed Copper Wire
- B8: Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors, Hard, Medium-Hard or Soft
- ICEA S-94-649
- AEIC CS-8
- RUS U-1
Construction
The cable is composed of a moisture blocked reverse lay, compressed stranded soft drawn copper, covered by a semi-conducting cross-linked polyethylene strand shield, a tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene primary insulation, and a semi-conducting cross-linked polyethylene insulation shield. Conductors are available with 133% insulation level. A concentric neutral of bare copper wires and a sunlight resistant, -40°C rated, insulating linear low density polyethylene jacket are applied over the insulation shield. The cable is identified by surface print on the jacket and with the lightning bolt symbol for supply cables indented in the jacket. Red extruded stripes available upon request.
