Airfield Lighting Cables Construction
1.1. Conductor: Tinned stranded copper: 6 mm2 or AWG 8
1.2. Semi-conducting layer: avoids local overstress of the HV insulation (“smooth electrical field”)
1.3. HV insulation: Type B: use of EPR Type C: use of XLPE
1.4. Semi-conducting layer: avoids local overstress of the HV insulation (“smooth electrical field”) 1.5. Shielding: improves electrical, mechanical and environmental behaviour
1.6. Outer jacket: use of PE with optional incorporated ants and termites repellent compound
Characteristics of the different airfield lighting cables constructions
2.1. HV Insulation
The most appreciated insulation material is XLPE (cross-linked Polyethylene). This material has excellent mechanical and electrical characteristics; it resists very well to moisture, acids and/or alkaline.
Another excellent insulation materialis EPR (Ethylene-Propylene rubber). This synthetic rubber has excellent
mechanical and electrical characteristics; cables insulated with this material are more flexible in comparison with XLPE insulated cables.
2.2. Screen
It is recommended to equip the airfield lighting cables with a screen.
The reasons are :
• Uniformisation of the electrical field and, as consequence, a longer lasting of the HV insulation
• Protection against lighting
• Protection against electrical hazards for the pesonnel
• Easier fault location
• Possibility of testing the outer jacket (jacket fault location)
• Mechanical protection against rats, mice and termites
The screen can consist of a copper braid or a copper or brass tapes.
All of the versions have the mentioned features; the tapes are more effective against mice and rats than a braid.
2.3. Outer sheath
The best cable sheath for use with high environmental strain is PE (Polyethylene).
This material has excellent characteristics: moisture, acid, alkaline, oil (kerosene) resistance is good or excellent.
Airfield Lighting Cables Features
• Excellent UV resistance (black coloured outer sheath)
• Optionally a chemical repellent for ants and termites, acting over a long period of time can be added.
• Cables are resistant to the deicers of the new generation currently used on airports: Potassium Acetate (Kca), Potassium Formate (KF).
