Why Kerite?
For over 150 years, Kerite has manufactured the most reliable electrical power cable
available. Kerites reputation for reliability is based on decades of use in real world
environmental conditions. Utility customers today are more demanding than ever about
the reliability of their electrical service. Kerite cable is a key component of grid reliability.
Long Service Life
More Reasons to Choose Kerite
Cable service life is a function of its design properties,

manufacturing and installation. Kerite is confident enough
to warranty our cable for the life of the installation.
Kerite insulation has additional features that contribute to

Kerite cables exceptional reliability.
Corona Immunity
Long-term Over-voltage Endurance
Transient Attenuation
Discharge Resistant EPR Insulation

The foundation of that reliability is Kerites proprietary
Discharge Resistant Ethylene Propylene Rubber
(DR-EPR) insulation. Kerite has been formulating,
compounding, and manufacturing its own Discharge
Resistant EPR cable insulation for decades. Every batch
of Discharge Resistant EPR insulation is inspected and
tested to Kerites quality standards before extrusion.
Kerites Discharge Resistant EPR has electrical,
mechanical, thermal and chemical properties that work
together to create superior cable insulation. Millions
of feet of Kerite cables have been installed in all types
of environments with no known cable failures due
to insulation degradation or weakness. This record is
unequaled in the electrical power cable industry.
Kerite Power Cable has been manufactured in the

USA since 1854.
ISO 9001:2008 registered
Permashield
All Kerite cables have our Permashield stress control
layer between the conductor and the insulation.
Permashield reduces electrical stress in the primary
insulation and limit the available free discharge that can
damage the insulation and cause premature cable failure.
Permashields non-conducting properties permit 100%
testing during extrusion to verify there are no voids in
the stress control layer which could lead to early cable
insulation failures.
Superior Underwater Performance and Durability

Moisture in a power cable is a fact of underground and
subsea applications and must be addressed by blocking
the moisture ingress or selecting an insulation that is
impervious to the deterioration which occurs in a wet
environment. Kerite cable has the only insulation that
utilizes a wet design approach; it performs normally when
fully immersed in water. This wet design approach has
been used by Kerite cables that have been in service since
the 1920s and continue to operate today.

Short Circuits
On power systems with particularly high KVA capacity, the available short circuit current must be considered in the selection
of the conductor size and the cable shield design. The graphs on the following pages show the maximum currents Kerite
cables and shields can carry for various periods of time without degradation to the insulation system and jackets.
Fault Currents
When calculating the time a conductor can carry a particular fault current, or determining the fault current which can be
carried for a specific time, it is conservatively assumed that the total heat generated is stored in the conductor, for the
brief duration of the short circuit, without any dissipation of heat to the environment.
Either the allowable fault current (I), the allowable duration of time (t), or the cross sectional area (A) of metal necessary
to sustain a particular fault can be computed when two of the three variables are known.
I=

A=T
otal cross-sectional area of concentric neutral, tape shield, or phase conductor (circular

I = Fault current (amperes)
t = Duration of fault (seconds)
k = Constant for conductor or shield material with fixed initial and final temperatures
The k value in the above equation can be obtained in the following table:

Conductor Selection
For most applications the selection of copper versus
aluminum is an economic decision. As conductor sizes
increase the difference in initial cost favors aluminum. The
diameter of the aluminum cable becomes increasingly
larger than copper for similar ampacity because of
aluminums lower conductivity. Larger diameter cables may
require larger ducts, conduits, and racks/trays potentially
offsetting initial cable cost savings.
The selection of a conductor size is mainly dependent on

the amount of current it must carry and the installation
type. The following table of electrical formulas can be used
for determining amperage in a particular circuit.
