Allowable Ampacity for 1 AWG 3C Stranded Bare Copper Tape Unshielded XLPE PVC RE4H1(O)R 6/10KV Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This type of cable is designed for medium voltage applications, supporting voltages up to 6/10 kV. It is constructed with a stranded bare copper conductor, which provides good flexibility and conductivity. The cable is unshielded and uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for insulation, which offers excellent electrical properties and resistance to heat, chemical, and environmental exposure. The outer jacket is typically made from PVC, providing additional protection and durability.

Also Known As:

This cable might be referred to using different names based on its specific standards or manufacturer variations. However, the core identifiers (1 AWG 3C, Stranded Bare Copper, XLPE PVC, 6/10KV) are generally consistent across nomenclature.

Application:

• Power distribution and transmission in industrial settings
