ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70) Power Cables Rated 2000 Volts or Less for the Distribution of Electrical Energy


Construction

Conductor: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B33/B172

Separator Tape: Non-conducting tape applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping and Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), color coded black, white, red.

Ground Conductors: Two mylar taped, tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33/B172

Ground Check Conductor: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33/B172 with yellow, high durometer, Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation.

Filler: Filler as needed

Binder: Binder Tape

Inner Jacket: Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty integral fill flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)

Reinforcement: Reinforcing twine applied between the two jacket layers

Outer Jacket: Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty, modified integral fill, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). Alternate jacket colors available

Reflective Stripe: Highly visible reflective stripe embedded into the outer jacket to increase safety and help prevent cable runover (optional, contact your sales representative for part number)
