Copper Concentric Cable Standard
IEC60502-1, BS7870, ASTMD2655
ASTMB556, ASTMB193, ASTMB8, UL44, UL1581, UL854
Key features of this cable include:
- Conductors: Both 8 AWG and 10 AWG conductors are made of copper.
- Concentric Neutral: The concentric layer is also made of copper.
- Insulation: The conductors are insulated, typically with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
- Sheath: A PVC jacket typically provides protection for the entire assembly.
- Voltage Rating: Commonly rated for 600V applications.
- Temperature Rating: Maximum operating temperature is typically 90°C.
- Standards: Conforms to ASTM standards and may also be designed to meet other standards like IEC, BS, or client specifications.
Typical applications:
- Service Entrance: From the power distribution network to the meter panel.
- Feeder Cable: From the meter panel to the distribution panel.
- Underground: Direct burial applications are suitable.
- Outdoor: Suitable for outdoor installations.
- Where preventing electricity theft is a concern: The concentric design helps prevent tampering.
