SPEC 80209
35kV AL 133% TRXLPE Full Neutral Primary UD HI-DRI-PLUS®
Renewable (Solar or Wind)
Moisture Blocked Aluminum Conductors. TRXLP Insulation. Full Copper Concentric Neutrals. XLPE Jacket

Construction:
- Conductor:Moisture Blocked 1350 H16/H26 Aluminum, Class B Compressed or Compressed Unilay Stranded
- Strand Shield:Semi-conducting Crosslinked Polyethylene
- Insulation:Tree Retardant Crosslinked Polyethylene (TRXLP)
- Insulation Shield:Strippable Semi-conducting Crosslinked Polyethylene
- Concentric Neutral:Annealed Copper Wires Helically Applied Full Concentric Neutral
- Overall Jacket & Water Block:HI-DRI-PLUS® Water Swellable Powder Black Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) with Red Extruded Stripes
Applications and Features:
- Predominately used for renewable projects with wind or solar applications.
- Suitable for use in wet or dry locations, direct burial, underground ducts, and exposure to direct sunlight.
- To be used at conductor temperature not to exceed 105ºC normal operation.
- UL listed MV-105
- Under short circuit conditions, the maximum allowable shield temperature for crosslinked jackets is 350ºC as opposed to only 200ºC for a PE type of jacket. The higher temperature allows for more fault current capacity, thus reducing the amount of copper required in the neutral design.
- Not recommended for use above 90ºC in wind farm applications
