In this training session, we will go over the 6 different layers of a medium voltage cable. We will explore each component in detail including each components’ purpose starting with the conductor and working outward to the cable jacket. We will also go over the multiple conductor types and conductor selection parameters that are considered, insulation types and design purposes, and various types of metallic shields typically seen in the field.  This training module is intended for new or experienced electricians
and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot 5-35 kV solid dielectric power cables.

Learning Objectives:

• List the six basic layers of a medium voltage cable.
• Describe the purpose of each medium voltage cable layer.
• Describe conductor types and conductor selection parameters.
• Describe insulation types and design purposes.

Prerequisites:

Participants should understand basic electrical theory.
