Built to strict ICEA S-73-532 standards, it features a composite 20\/10 PE\/PVC insulation system and a high-performance copper tape shield. This construction provides exceptional dielectric strength and critical shielding against transient voltage surges and electromagnetic interference (EMI) typical in high-voltage substation switchyards.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eKey Features of 10\/9 Shielded 20\/10 Substation Cable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeavy-Duty 20\/10 Composite Insulation:\u003c\/b\u003e Each of the 9 conductors is insulated with 20 mils of Natural Polyethylene (PE) for primary electrical strength and low dielectric loss, paired with a 10 mil Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) outer skin layer for color coding and robust physical protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuperior EMI\/RFI Shielding:\u003c\/b\u003e Wrapped with a helically applied 5-mil bare copper tape shield (minimum 20% overlap).

When implementing the E-1 color code, ensure field technicians cross-reference terminal blocks to avoid using the #4 Green or #2 White conductors as active control legs if your facility reserves those colors exclusively for ground and neutral paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCABLE TYPE:\u003c\/b\u003e 10 AWG \/ 9-Conductor Shielded Substation Control Cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDISCLAIMER:\u003c\/b\u003e The technical information provided is for general reference only.
