Share:
Extremely reliable performance paired with high customizability and exceptional service
Kerite, a leading manufacturer of high quality insulated utility and industrial power cable, will highlight their full line of high voltage (HV) power cable and Underwater Specialty Cable, in addition to their turnkey installation services at POWER-GEN International’s Power Generation Week, November 12-14 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. In addition to proven reliability, Kerite cables offer exceptional customizability to meet the needs of any project. Kerite will be at exhibit booth #562.
Kerite’s HV cable is available in voltages ranging from 46kV thru 138kV. The HV power cables come with hundreds of options for conductor size, material, voltage, insulation system, metallic shielding, and jacket material. This gives Kerite’s HV cable the ability to handle a wide variety of electrical transmission system applications, including internal substation bus connections, capacitor bank hook ups, congested transmission easements, power plant feeders, river and bridge crossings, and industrial manufacturing facilities.
The cables’ unique insulation system provides unmatched cable reliability, and specially-formulated discharge-resistant ethylene propylene rubber DR-EPR® insulation has electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties that guarantee long-term field performance. This insulation is proven to allow safe operation in high moisture environments. Kerite’s HV cable is also the most flexible in the industry, guaranteeing easier installation and racking in the field.
Kerite’s Underwater Specialty Cable also features specialized EPR insulation, which is designed specifically to allow the cables to operate underwater without the need for an additional impervious barrier such as a lead sheath, which makes installation easier and more cost-efficient. The cable also offers a polyethylene jacket and features stranded, filled 5kV-35kV copper conductors, shielded by a non-conducting Permashield® stress control layer and a copper tape or concentric wire metallic shield. Galvanized steel armor wires with individual HDPE jacketing offer additional protection.
Kerite also offers a variety of options for custom builds, and these can be coupled with Kerite Cable Services -- a full turnkey installation program -- giving customers a single point of contact from procurement, through installation and acceptance testing. KCS services include project management, site surveys and system layout, custom cable designs, cable installation, splicing and terminating, system testing, and complete project documentation. Founded in 1854, Kerite has many years of experience working alongside clients to install cables that cross rivers, bays and connect islands and offshore platforms -- from the Great Lakes to the Caribbean, the Far East, and the Persian Gulf. KCS truly allows the company to put this experience to work.
