Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 121 ℃ (250 °F). For short-duration operations, it can withstand up to 135 ℃ (275 °F) for 8 hours and up to 150 ℃ (300 °F) for 1 hour.
Q
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 45 kN (10,100 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 22.5 kN (5,050 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength to ensure a safe operational margin.
Q
What voltage rating does this cable support?
This cable is rated at 1000 VDC, making it suitable for a wide range of downhole and industrial electrical applications requiring reliable DC power transmission.
Q
What is the insulation material and its outer diameter?
The cable uses Polypropylene (PP) insulation with a diameter of 1.86 mm (0.0732"). The overall cable diameter is 8.0 mm (+0.13 / −0.05 mm), providing a compact yet robust profile.
Q
What is the minimum sheave diameter required for this cable?
The minimum sheave (pulley) diameter for this cable is 450 mm (18"). Using a sheave smaller than this minimum may cause mechanical stress, reduce cable lifespan, or lead to structural damage.
Q
What are the electrical resistance and capacitance values of this cable?
At 20 ℃, the typical conductor resistance is 33 Ω/km (10 Ω/kft). The capacitance at 1 kHz is 175 pF/m (53 pF/ft), and the insulation resistance is rated at 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), indicating excellent insulation quality.
