POWER CABLES COMPACT CABLES
Single or Three-Conductor, Single Permashield® (SPS) - 105°C RATING
(For replacement of paper insulated lead covered cables)

Kerite single-conductor and three-conductor compact round power cables are designed to be a direct replacement for Paper-Insulated Lead Covered (PILC) cables. Like all Kerite cable our PILC replacement product offers excellent reliability and a proven track-record. They are specifically designed for compatibility with 3, 3-1/2, 4 and 5-inch duct systems installed in the early 1900's.

Both Kerite single-conductor and three-conductor cable constructions start with a compact-round conductor that results in an eight to ten percent diameter reduction over full round conductors. The "Insulation System" is comprised of the time-proven Permashield®, conductor stress control layer, and our exclusive Kerite EP discharge resistant primary insulation, extruded to exacting tolerances. Kerite’s free-stripping insulation shield offers labor savings opportunities. The single conductor designs have a flat strap concentric neutral and a linear low density polyethylene jacket (optional high temp. polypropylene jacket). The three conductor cable designs have a 5 mil copper tape applied over the free-stripping insulation shield, cabled with optional neutrals and fillers, finally an overall polyethylene jacket is extruded over the assembly.
