What is the most reliable 3/C 15kV 500kcmil armored, shielded cable?
(OP)
If you were tasked with purchasing the most reliable 15kV 3/C 500 kcmil, armored, shielded cable - what would you purchase and why? Other than the insulation and ampacity ratings, is there a part of the specification that is the most critical to look at when comparing? This cable will be run inside a building and outside in cable tray and on a messenger.
Years ago I worked for a utiltity that had problems with some cables - particularly underground ones that they knew by their records would fail prematurely. I just wonder if cable failure rates are available for different manufacturers?

Beyond that, I'd stick with a reputable supplier that manufactures the cable that they sell.
