Medium Voltage Cable Systems

Medium Voltage Cable Systems

Medium Voltage Cable Systems

Compounds designed to exceed standards and provide longevity

Just like cable producers and distribution system operators, we hold ourselves to high standards. Our medium voltage (MV) cable insulation, shielding and jacketing compounds can help you meet or exceed standards like: ANSI1, ICEA2, IEC3, CENELEC4, VDE DKE5 and VNIIKP/GOST R6.

For more than 75 years, we’ve been collaborating to address distribution cable performance challenges for the electrical infrastructure industry, which is why our MV cable solutions are designed to work together and independently to contribute to low life-cycle system economics, excellent cable performance, reliability and longevity that can exceed international standards.

Our compounds for medium voltage cable systems have exceptional water tree retardant performance and excellent retained breakdown strength (AWTT), with additional benefits like:

Exceeding standards

The ability to meet or exceed the highest power distribution cable standards, including requirements for MV 105ºC increased ampacity. 

Processability and flexibility

Significant production processability advantages and flexibility, such as increased run length and excellent cure-scorch balance. 

Versatility

Broad extrusion versatility with different Dow bonded and strippable semiconductive compounds (semicons) to address requirements. 

Enhanced performance and economics

Our systems approach simplifies cable design while enhancing performance and economics, like designs that do not require UMA metallic sheet.
