5. General make-up of the cable
5.1 Conductor
Electrolytic annealed aluminium conductor, class 2 according to EN 60228 / IEC 60228.
Optionally, hygroscopic tapes can be applied in order to achieve longitudinal watertightness
on the conductor (cable type -2OL)
5.2 Inner semi-conducting screen
Cross-linked semiconductor screen applied over conductor in a triple-extrussion process.
5.3 Insulation
Cross-linked polyethylene insulation, type DIX-3 according to HD 620-1 and type XLPE
according to IEC 60502-2; natural color. Cross-linked in catenary line with nitrogen
atmosphere.
5.4 Outer semi-conducting screen
Cross-linked semiconductor screen applied over insulation in a triple-extrussion process.
Strippable.
Optionally, under customer request, it can supplied non strippable (bonded to insulation).
5.5 Metalic screen
Metalic screen made with Cu wires and Cu binder tape, applied over the outer semiconducting
layer. With 16 mm2 minimum cross-section.
5.6 Water blocking
Hygroscopic tape applied over metalic screen.
5.7 Outer sheath
Polyolefine outer sheath, type DMZ1 according to HD 620-1 and type ST7 according to IEC
60502-2; red color.
