Construction
Conductors:
Aluminum conductor used for this cable is either a concentric strand or compressed 1350-H19 series aluminum conductor. The conductors are cabled together, with surface printing for identification. The neutral conductor has a yellow stripe.
Insulation:
Versatile insulation system made of cross-linked black polyethylene material helps to secure the cable conductors. This insulation is water-tight, repulsive to corrosive substances, resistant to oil, heat, and flame. Cross-linking polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions like direct burial installation.
