SCOPE This annotation describes Tree-Retardant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE) insulated Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) jacketed concentric wire neutral power cables to be used in underground collection systems. The cables are designed for use in three phase systems with voltage not exceeding 35000 volts phase to phase and conductor temperatures not exceeding 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. The cables are suitable for direct burial and installation in ducts. 2. APPLICABLE STANDARDS: The cables produced under this specification will comply with all applicable requirements of the following standards, which are the principal standards of this product: ICEA S-94-649-2004 (Standard for Concentric Neutral Cables Rated 5 through 46 KV) AEIC CS8-00 (Specification for Extruded Dielectric, Shielded Power Cables Rated 5 through 46 KV) Cable components, raw materials, and testing procedures shall meet the requirements of publications referenced in relevant parts of the principal standards, including but not limited to ASTM B 231, ASTM B 3, ASTM B 5, and ICEA T-31-610. NOTE: WTEC Medium-Voltage cables for collection systems can be made to CAN-CSA-C68.3-97 standard by request. 3. CONSTRUCTION: The cables are designed and manufactured according to a “DISCHARGE-FREE” design concept. Conductor shield, insulation, and insulation shield are extruded simultaneously over the conductor by using triple-extrusion and dry-curing technology. Cable components are: A) CONDUCTOR Conductor shall be class B stranded compressed aluminum. The stranded conductor shall be water-blocked. The wires before stranding shall meet requirements of ASTM B 230. Typical conductor sizes are 1/0 AWG, 4/0 AWG, 350 KCMIL, 500 KCMIL, 750 KCMIL, 1000 KCMIL, and 1250 KCMIL, other sizes are available upon request. B) CONDUCTOR SHIELD The semi-conducting shield shall be extruded over the stranded conductor. C) INSULATION A layer of tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene (TR-XLPE) shall be extruded over the conductor shield. Nominal thickness of the insulation shall be 345 mils. Minimum thickness shall not be less than 330 mils and maximum thickness not more than 375 mils. D) INSULATION SHIELD The semi-conducting shielding thermosetting compound shall be extruded over the insulation. E) CONCENTRIC NEUTRAL Bare annealed copper wires shall be helically applied over the extruded insulation shield in one layer. They shall be evenly spaced around the cable core. Number and size of the neutral wires shall be specified by the customer; otherwise the ones most commonly used in underground collection systems of the wind farms will be assumed (these values are referenced in Section 5 of this annotation). The wires shall meet the chemical requirements of ASTM B 5 and resistivity, tensile, and elongation requirements of ASTM B 3. F) NON-CONDUCTING JACKET Black linear low density polyethylene shall be extruded (Extruded-to-Fill) over the outer surface of the cable. 3 red stripes spaced 120° apart around the cable center shall be extruded longitudinally on the jacket surface.
