SPEC 8600 September, 2016 TRXLPE/Tape Shield/PVC/GSIA/PVC, Power, Shielded, Armored 15 kV, CSA HVTECK, 133% Ins. Level, 220 Mils, Three Conductor VERTITECK HVTECK ® Product Construction: Conductor: • 2 AWG thru 750 kcmil bare copper compact Class B strand Strand Shield: • A thermoset semi-conducting strand shield is extruded over the conductor Insulation: • Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) Insulation Shield: • This consists of a semi-conducting thermosetting layer, applied in a triple extrusion process, plus a helically applied gapped copper tape • Color code: black, red, or blue colored tape placed longitudinally under the copper tape shield Ground (Bonding) Conductor: • The conductor consists of one uninsulated stranded bare copper conductor Inner Jacket: • Lead-free, flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), black Armor: • Galvanized Steel Interlocked Armor (GSIA) Overall Jacket: • Lead-free, ACID-FLAME-CHECK ✓✓® AG14 flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), red Options: • Galvanized Steel Interlocked Armor (GSIA) Applications: • For exposed and concealed wiring in dry, damp or wet locations Applications (cont’d.): • For use in ventilated, non-ventilated and ladder- type cable trays in dry, damp or wet locations • For direct earth burial (with protection as required by inspection authority) • For wiring in all hazardous locations when used with certified HL cable glands • Cost-effective alternative to installation in conduit • Typical vertical installations include mine shafts, tall commercial buildings, inclined tunnels and vertical cable trays (Note that the overall jacket is required for all damp and wet locations and for all corrosive environments: CE Code Part 1, Rules 12-708 and 22-200) Features: • Rated at 90˚C wet or dry • The jacket under the armor (inner jacket) is designed with longitudinal raised ribs. The armor is then applied and bites into these ribs to provide a solidly locked construction. This feature enables the cable to be self-supporting (core will not slip) during vertical installation when cable weight is supported by the copper conductors • Lighter than mine shaft cable with conventional steel wire armor (SWA) • More flexible than SWA cables, resulting in easier handling during installation • Terminations and connections to electrical cabinets are similar to standard TECK90 cables • Meets cold bend and impact tests at -40˚C CATALOG NUMBER 17497.540200* 17497.540100* 17497.545100* 17497.545200* 17497.545300* 17497.545400* 17497.546000* 17497.546200* 17497.546500* 17497.547000* COND.
