Cathodic Protection Power Cable

HMWPE Cathodic Protection Power Cable

Application and Description

HMWPE Cathodic Protection Power Cables are designed for use with cathodic systems protecting against galvanic and electrolytic corrosion of metallic objects such as underground pipelines, tanks and other buried or submerged metallic structures.

HMWPE cathodic protection cable utilizes stranded copper conductors that are insulated with a high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) compound that provides strong resistance to abrasion, crushing, chemicals, oil, moisture and other elements.

Standard and Approval

ICEA S-95-658

Cable Construction

Conductor: Soft drawn bare copper stranded to ASTM B3 & B8.
Insulation: High molecular weight polyethylene (PE) compound in accordance with the requirements ASTM D1248 for Type 1 Class C Category 4 or 5 Grade E5 material and ICEA S-95-658.

Technical Characteristics

Working voltage: 600V
Operating temperature: 75º C
