Cable Specification.pdf

This is a product specification document for Type THOF Enhanced power cables rated for 600V-2000V applications. The cables are designed to operate under OPNAVINST 11310.3 C guideline and are based on ICEA no. s-75-381.

The cables are intended for use as power cables on navy ships, other industrial applications, alternative maritime power systems, ship-to-shore power, and cold ironing operations. Construction features 500 kcmil flexible stranded tin-coated copper conductors to ASTM B33 with class I rope-lay-stranded design and bunch-stranded members. The insulation consists of special EPDM rubber, halogen-free and lead-free compound developed by TF Kable. Additional construction elements include polyester tape separator, color-coded circuit identification (black, white, red), three power cores wrapped around rubber filler, black integral filled heavy-duty chloroprene synthetic thermosetting compound inner jacket, polyamide thread reinforcement, and black extra heavy-duty chloroprene synthetic thermosetting compound outer jacket for enhanced toughness and tear/abrasion/crush resistance. Standard cable packing is 500m on drums with alternative packing available upon request.

Key performance features include voltage rating of 600V or 2000V, test voltage of 9.5 kV/5min, insulation resistance minimum 1000 MΩ, maximum conductor operating temperature of +90°C, short circuit temperature of +250°C, minimum ambient temperature for fixed installation of -40°C and mobile installation of -25°C, flame resistance per PN-EN 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-1-2, excellent impact and abrasion resistance, sea water resistance, UV and ozone resistance, and suitability for contaminated chemical and oil-resistant environments. The 500 kcmil cable (122.1x0.51 N x mm) has outer diameter of 69.9 mm, conductor resistance of 0.0238 Ohms/1000 Ft at 25°C, and ampacity rating of 558A at 30°C.
