Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 121 ℃ (250 °F). For short-duration use, it can handle up to 135 ℃ (275 °F) for 8 hours, and up to 150 ℃ (300 °F) for 1 hour.
What is the cable breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 30 kN (6750 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 15 kN (3370 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength to ensure safe and reliable operation.
What voltage rating does this cable support?
This cable is rated at 1200 VDC, making it suitable for downhole and other demanding electrical applications that require high-voltage direct current transmission.
What is the insulation material and its resistance value?
The insulation is made of Polypropylene (PP) with a diameter of 2.51 mm (0.0988"). It provides an insulation resistance of 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), offering excellent electrical isolation performance.
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter required for this cable?
The minimum shave diameter for this cable is 350 mm (14 inches). Using a sheave smaller than this minimum can cause mechanical damage to the armor wires and reduce cable service life.
What are the armor wire construction details and their breaking strength?
The cable features a double-armor construction: the inner armor consists of 12 wires at 0.89 mm diameter each, and the outer armor consists of 18 wires at 0.89 mm diameter each. Both inner and outer armor wires have an average breaking strength of 1162 N (261 lbs) per wire.
