MACROTHERM CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM CABLES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - HMW-PE 600 V, Single Stranded Conductor

Cables used in cathodic protection systems are a critical part of the system. These HMWPE CPS cables are made of stranded annealed copper wires which are insulated with High-Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) with outstanding dielectric strength & moisture resistance. During installation, these cables can withstand considerable mechanical abuse without risk of damage to the copper electrical conductor. The polyethylene cover is also chemical resistant & provides protection against most organic and inorganic substances.

APPLICATIONS

These HMWPE cables are used as header cables on CP systems and also to make anode lead, positive feed cables, negative return cables & test cables. The thick polyethylene cover permits direct burial of the cable in native soils or submersion in fresh water. The cable provides superior flexibility and can be bent without risk of notch propagation. During installation, these cable can withstand considerable mechanical abuse without compromising the conductor, but these cable are not recommended for use in environments containing chlorine, hydrochloric acid & petroleum hydrocarbons.

CONSTRUCTION

Conductor - Stranded copper conductor conforming to ASTM Specification B-8.

Insulation - High Molecular Weight Polyethylene insulation conforming to ASTM D-1248, Type 1, Class A, Category 5, Grades E4 & E5. Tensile Strengths Jl, J3. Available with high density polyethylene (Types II, III, IV) Class B & C (all colors).

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - Kynar/HMWPE 600 V, Single Stranded Copper Conductor

Kynar/HMWPE cables made of stranded annealed copper wires with dual insulation construction. The inner layer or primary insulation is of Kynar, a fluoropolymer (PVDF) material, which has exceptional chemical resistance in the presence of chlorine, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. The outer insulation is high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), which provides outstanding dielectric strength & moisture resistance. During the installation, the cable can withstand considerable mechanical abuse without risk of damage to the copper electrical conductor.

APPLICATIONS

Kynar/HMWPE cables are used for anode ground-bed installations where chlorine and hydrogen gasses are generated. The cable can be directly installed in fresh, brackish or salt waters.

CONSTRUCTION

Conductor - Stranded copper conductor bare/tinned, conforming to ASTM Specification B-3, B-8, IEC 60228 class 1 & 2.

Insulation - Primary Insulation 20 mils of homogenous natural PVDF (Kynar) and 65 mils of HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene) conforming to ASTM D-1248, Type 1, Class A, Category 5, Grades E4 & E5. Tensile Strengths Jl, J3. Available with high density polyethylene (Types II, III, IV) Class B & C (all colors).

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION - Halar/HMWPE 600 V, Single Stranded Copper Conductor

Halar/HMWPE cable made of stranded annealed copper wires with dual insulation construction. The inner layer or primary insulation is of Halar, a fluoropolymer (ECTFE) material which has exceptional chemical resistance in the presence of chlorine, sulfuric and hydrochloric acid and doesn’t embrittle at temp. down to -500C, and maintains dimensional stability & dielectric strength at temp. up to 2200C. The outer insulation is which provides outstanding dielectric strength and moisture resistance. During the installation the cable can withstand considerable mechanical abuse without risk of damage to the copper electrical conductor

APPLICATIONS

Halar/HMWPE cables are used as direct burial dc feeder cables in deep anode ground-bed cathodic protection systems, where chorine and hydrogen gases are generated. These cables are ideally suited for uses in harsh chemical environments involving brackish or salt waters, sour gases, chlorine, acids, alkalis and petroleum based solvents. These cables can also be used to provide cathodic protection for well casings, storage tanks, pilling, pipelines, marine craft & other buried or water submerged metallic structures.
