Description:
1. Voltage: 600/5000 Voltage; 2. Conductor: Copper; 3.Shield: Cross-linked Polyethlene(XLPE)-5kv; 4Insulated: Cross-linked Polyethlene(XLPE)
Application:
Airport Lighting Cable is primarily used for series lighting circuits for runways, control systems, and other multi-purpose installations. It can be used for direct burial, conduit, or raceway. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Voltage rating for conductors is 600 volts and 5,000 volts.
Specifications:
Lighting Cable meets or exceeds FAA Specification L-824, AC150/5345-7E, and ICEA S-66-524.
Construction:
Airport Lighting Cable conductors are annealed (soft) copper, compressed 7 strand. 600V cable insulation is an abrasion, moisture, and heat resistant black cross-linked polyethylene. 5kV cable has an extruded semi-conducting cross-linked conductor shield with an abrasion, moisture, heat, and 20-mil track resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation.
Recommended Sample Specification:
Cable shall be FAA L-824, Type C, suitable for operation at 600 volts or 5kV in wet or dry locations. Conductors shall be annealed (soft) copper, compressed 7 strand. 600V cable insulation shall be abrasion, moisture, and heat resistant black cross-linked polyethylene. 5kV cable shall have a 20 mil extruded cross-linked polyethylene conductor shield. 5kV cable shall have an abrasion, moisture, heat, and track resistant cross-linked polyethylene. Cable shall be printed with conductor size, manufacturer, voltage, and FAA-L-824, Type C.
