15kV

15KV Tape shield cable is primarily used for power circuits in commercial, industrial, refinery and petro-chemical plants; utility power generation and substations. The cable can be installed in wet or dry applications in cable tray sizes 1/0 & larger, duct, open air and direct burial. The cable is approved for temperature up to 105°C and voltages up to 15000 volts. Tape shields over ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation have been a favored power cable construction for years, the way the tape is wrapped can deliver significant reliability and performance benefits. If a tape-shielded cable is bent too sharply or pulled around bends with too much tension, the tape windings may separate and the tape can buckle when the cable straightens out. The buckling can damage the underlying insulation shield. In a conduit, the damage is invisible, and even in a cable tray the cable jacket may conceal the condition. Most field electrical proof tests won’t reveal this kind of damage.
