In spite of all the rhetoric about “getting the lead out”, most larger North American urban centers are still maintaining some form of medium voltage underground network power distribution system using paper insulated, lead covered (PILC) cables.

User Advantages: PILC cables are hermetically sealed with a lead sheath, which protect the cables against humidity, gasoline and most chemical agents. Outer jacket provides additional protection against corrosion and galvanic action.

Okonite's multiconductor PILC cables are available with three different style conductors depending on the application. The three conductor styles are compressed round, compact round and compact (120°) sector.

PILC Cable Specification. Conductor: Plain annealed copper Class 2; Insulation: Paper insulated/Lead Alloy sheathed; Shield Layer: Copper Tape; Armoured Layer: SWA or STA; Sheath/Jacket: PVC; Temperature Range: Max 80°C, Min bending 0°C; Voltage：8.7/15KV , 26/35KV; PILC Cable Data Sheet

2013年6月15日 · Electrical insulation materials are employed over the metallic conductors of underground cables at all voltage ratings. Polymeric materials are employed as the insulation, but the nature of the polymer may vary with the voltage class.

PILC cable is the oldest type of electrical power cable. The popularity of this type of cable has dropped since the 1940's when solid dielectric insulated cable was introduced. Electrical utility companies, such as Southern California Edison, are currently installing PILC cable only in locations where space limitations require replacement of ...

• Less costly than PILC • Millions of feet successfully installed and operated since its introduction in 1989 • Triple-extruded for clean interfaces • Class 10,000 environment utilized for cable core material handling • Flexibility for easy handling • Excellent moisture resistance • Improved temperature rating over PILC • Low ...
