35kV Primary UD
EPR Cable
Aluminum or Copper Conductor. EPR Insulation.
Bare Copper Concentric Neutrals.
Low Density Polyethylene Jacket.
APPLICATIONS
Predominantly used for primary underground distribution in conduit systems; suitable for use in wet or dry locations, direct
burial, underground duct, and where exposed to sunlight. To be used at 35,000 volts or less and at conductor
temperatures not to exceed 105°C for normal operation.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire 35kV Primary UD EPR Cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
• B3 Soft Annealed Copper Wire
• B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors, Hard, Medium-Hard or Soft
• B230 Aluminum, 1350-H19 Wire for Electrical Purposes
• B231 Aluminum 1350 Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
• B609 Aluminum 1350 Round Wire, Annealed and Intermediate Tempers, for Electrical Purposes
Southwire 35kV Primary UD EPR Cable is manufactured to the latest edition of the following specifications, and in the
order as listed:
• ANSI/ICEA S-94-649
• AEIC CS-8
• UL 1072, When Specified
• RUS 1728F-U1
CONSTRUCTION
The cable is composed of a solid or moisture blocked reverse lay, compressed stranded soft drawn copper, or a solid or
moisture blocked reverse lay or unilay compressed stranded 1350-H16/26 aluminum phase conductor, covered by a
semi-conducting cross-linked polyethylene strand shield, an ethylene propylene rubber primary insulation, and a semi-
conducting cross-linked polyethylene insulation shield. Conductors are available with either 100% or 133% insulation
levels. A concentric neutral of bare copper wires and a sunlight resistant, -40°C rated, insulating linear low density
polyethylene jacket are applied over the insulation shield. The cable is identified by surface print on the jacket and with the
lightning bolt symbol for supply cables indented in the jacket. Red extruded stripes available upon request. A semi-
conducting polyethylene jacket is also available upon request.
