Our direct earth burial DC lead cables are designed for use in deep anode ground bed installations, providing reliable performance even in corrosive gas and brackish water conditions.The conductor consists of a stranded bare copper conductor that meets the ASTM specification B-8.
To ensure optimal insulation, the conductor is covered with a homogeneous wall of natural ECTFE fluoropolymer (Halar®) that offers excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and notch propagation. The jacket, made of high molecular weight polyethylene, conforms to ASTM D-1248 standards (Type I, Class A, Category 5, Grades E4 and E5).
These cables are available in sizes ranging from AWG 14 to AWG 2, with options for High Density Polyethylene (Type II, III, IV) Class B and C in various colors.
Surface printing provides clear identification.For special requests, we offer different wall thickness options for Halar and HMWPE, as well as a range of colors.
HALAR fluoropolymer, renowned for its unique properties, makes it an excellent choice for cathodic-protection lead-wire insulation. It demonstrates exceptional resistance to chemical environments while maintaining electrical properties. Through laboratory and field tests, HALAR fluoropolymer has proven to be superior to PVF2 in brackish water environments commonly found in deep ground beds.
