Cable Shield Type
Cable Shield Type
(OP)
I'm ordering some 35 & 15kV cable, and I've gnerally required wire shield in the past to acheive the required current and time rating for clearing ground faults on my system.
A manufacture has proposed a "heavy" tape shield this time around, which meets the above requirement.
Does anybody have any info on the characteristics of a tape versus wire shield? I'm wondering if there are any mechanical advantages to one over the other.

RE: Cable Shield Type
It is probably best if this separate neutral conductor is
insulated, to prevent corrosion in wet areas.
The tape shield cables do no handle fault current as well
as the stranded neutral types, necessitating the separate neutral conductor.
I really don't know the advantage(s) of using the tape
shield over the stranded neutral types.
Also, try to use EPR insulation.........based on years of
experience.
