Power Cable Standards: Medium Voltage (North America)
This online engineering PDH course provides a comparative analysis of the key medium voltage power cable standards in North America.
The course will start by identifying the key medium voltage power cable standards, look at the various design considerations and options, and review in detail the physical, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and chemical resistance testing requirements that define and shape the performance and safety of these cables.
Scope:
- CSA C68.5 - Primary shielded and concentric neutral cable for distribution utilities
- CSA C68.10 - Shielded power cable for commercial and industrial applications, 5-46 kV
- ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 - Concentric Neutral Cables Rated 5 Through 46KV
- ANSI/ICEA S-97-682 - Utility Shielded Power Cables Rated 5 Through 46 kV
- ANSI/NEMA WC74 / ICEA S-93-639 - 5-46 kV Shielded Power Cable for Use in the Transmission and Distribution of Electric Energy
- ANSI/ICEA S-113-684 - Performance Based Standard for Electric Utility Extruded Dielectric Shielded Power Cables Rated 5 Through 46 KV
- UL 1072 - Standard for Medium-Voltage Power Cables
- AEIC CS8 Specification – Specification for Extruded Dielectric Shielded Power Cables Rated 5 Through 46 kV (optional specification)
The course will conclude with a summary of the key differences between these standards along with a decision tree to help determine the relevant standard to specify a medium voltage cable to.
