Description: Prysmian’s Low Voltage AIRGUARD™ Power Cables
are primarily designed for applications in the harsh
environments found in the heavy industrial and offshore
markets. Its rugged polymeric Airbag™ armor and chemical
barrier protection package makes it the ideal cable choice
for tough harsh environmental conditions. AIRGUARD™
provides the solution to the deficiencies often encountered
with MC-HL cables including armor breakage encountered
during installation and in applications requiring recurring
bending after installation, as well as poor performance
in areas of high vibration (e.g. motor connections). It also
provides a safer and lower installed cost alternative to
MC-HL cables due to faster, “No Knife/ No Saw” cable
preparation, and substantially reduced cost of cable glands.
Conductor: Class B stranded bare, soft drawn coppercircuit conductors
Insulation: Heat and moisture resistant cross-linked
polyethylene (XLPE) meeting the requirements of UL-44
for Type XHHW-2 conductors
Fillers: Extruded filler belt
Ground Wires: Class B stranded bare, soft drawn
copper ground conductors (3)
Emi Shield: Metallic tape provides 100% coverage
Polymeric Armor/Environmental Barrier: Foamed polymeric AIRBAG™ layer affords superior
mechanical & environmental protection of the cable core
Outer Sheath: Heat, moisture, hydrocarbon, and sunlight
resistant thermoplastic
