Detailed Description or Construction Insulation Levels

100 Percent Level = Cables in this category may
be applied where the system is provided with
Conductor relay protection such that ground faults will be
Compact round stranded copper conductor cleared as rapidly as possible, but in any case
Conductor Shield within 1 minute.
Thermosetting extruded semi-conducting compound 133 Percent Level = This insulation level
Insulation corresponds to that formerly designated for
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) 90°C underground systems. Cables in this category
Insulation Shield
may be applied where the clearing time
Thermosetting extruded semi-conducting compound
Metallic Shield requirements of the 100 percent level category
Copper tape shield cannot be met, and yet there is adequate
Jacket assurance that the faulted section will be de-
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) energized in a time not exceeding 1 hour.
