The 15kV Concentric Neutral Cable (133% insulation level - 0.220") with One-Third Neutral is a medium-voltage, shielded power cable featuring a thermoset insulation (XLPE or EPR), extruded semi-conductive shielding layers, and a one-third sized bare copper concentric neutral. It is intended for use in ungrounded or impedance-grounded systems, where higher insulation thickness is required for fault durability, but a reduced neutral is permitted by system design.
Voltage Rating: 15,000 Volts (15kV)
Insulation Level: 133% (for ungrounded or resistance-grounded systems)
Insulation Thickness: 0.220 inches (5.6 mm)
Neutral: One-third size concentric bare copper wires
Temperature Rating: 90°C continuous, 130°C emergency, 250°C short-circuit
This cable is designed for:
Underground primary distribution systems
Ungrounded or resistance-grounded networks
Applications requiring higher dielectric strength (i.e., 133% insulation)
Installations where one-third neutral is sufficient for return path or where a separate ground wire is used
Suitable for direct burial, conduit, duct banks, or tray installations
Using one-third neutral is appropriate when:
The fault current return path is low
A separate equipment grounding conductor (EGC) is present
System design allows neutral reduction without compromising safety

One-third neutral is commonly used in three-phase circuits with balanced loads and where:
A separate ground conductor is installed
Neutral current is minimal or controlled
Cost or weight savings are necessary
Not recommended for single-phase circuits or circuits where the neutral may carry continuous or fault current
