XDRCU–ALT Single–core Cable for
500/290 (550) kV
with Copper wire screen and Aluminium
laminated sheath
Construction
* Copper conductor, round stranded or segmented, optionally with longitudinal water
barrier
* Inner semi-conductive layer firmly bonded to
the XLPE insulation
* XLPE main insulation, cross-linked
* Outer semi-conductive layer firmly bonded to
the XLPE insulation
* Copper wire screen with semi-conductive
swelling tapes above and below as longitudinal water barrier
* Aluminium foil, overlapped and glued as radial
diffusion barrier bonded to the oversheath
* Thermoplastic oversheath as mechanical protection, optionally with semi-conductive
and/or flame-retardant layer
Remarks
The inner semi-conductive layer, the XLPE main
insulation and the outer semi-conductive layer
are extruded in a single operation applying a dry
curing and a water or nitrogen cooling method.
