P/L MV AIRGUARD - 09/2017
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
CONDUCTOR
Class B compact concentric soft drawn copper
from #2 AWG through 1000 kcmil multiconductor
CONDUCTOR SHIELD
Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield
which is free stripping from the conductor and
bonded to the insulation
INSULATION
High dielectric strength EPROTENAX® EPR-based
insulation, combined with other additives
that enhance the electrical and mechanical
characteristics and extending cable life
INSULATION SHIELD
Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield
with controlled adhesion to the insulation
providing the required balance between electrical
integrity and strippability
METALLIC SHIELD
Helically applied non-magnetic copper tape(s) over
the insulation shield with a minimum overlap of 15%.
A Mylar ribbon is applied longitudinally under the
copper tape shield for phase identification
1C w/ Red, 1C w/ Blue, and 1C w/ Black
GROUNDING CONDUCTORS
Phase conductors are assembled with three (3)
grounding conductors per UL, ICEA, and ASTM
ASSEMBLY
Phase identified conductors cabled with fillers
and grounding conductors, forming a firm
and cylindrical core. A binder tape is applied to
maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability
CHEMICAL PROTECTION
A layer of Drylam™ which consists of a 6 mil
aluminum coated tape and a chemical resistant
extruded polymer layer is applied
MECHANICAL PROTECTION
High strength and high crush resistant AIRBAG
TM
layer extruded over the core assembly
OUTER SHEATH
Sunlight, oil, and moisture resistant PVC
meeting the requirements of CSA 22.2
No. 03 -40/-35 °C cold bend/cold impact or LSZH

APPLICATION
Medium Voltage AIRGUARD™ Power cables are
designed for fixed installations in the harsh
environments found in the heavy industrial
markets. Its rugged polymeric AIRBAG™ armor
and Drylam™ chemical barrier makes it the
ideal choicefor tough, harsh, environmental
conditions. AIRGUARD™ cables provide the
solutution to the deficiencies often encounter
with Type MC-HL cables including armor
breakage during installation, applications
requiring repeated flexing, and in areas with
high vibration. Medium Voltage AIRGUARD
cables are also suitable for VFD applications.
