General Cable delivers EmPowr Link CL Advantage – a medium-voltage cable

By Nic Sharpley | February 4, 2014

The EmPowr Link CL Advantage cable is specifically designed for renewable energy  applications.

The EmPowr Link CL Advantage cable is specifically designed for renewable energy applications.

General Cable recently announced the availability of its EmPowr Link CL Advantage Cable, the next step in medium-voltage technology to deliver industry-leading reliability and performance for solar and wind energy collection systems.

General Cable’s EmPowr Link CL Advantage Cable offers superior physical protection to endure the rigors of today’s collection system installation methods.  This cost-effective cable solution is built upon widely accepted electrical advancements of Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) jacketing, and optimized neutral designs to provide a compact, lightweight cable delivering more Advantage than ever before.

Rather than conventional round concentric neutral wires, industry-proven flat strap neutrals encapsulated under the EmPowr Link CL Advantage Cable’s XLPE jacket provide better mechanical protection for the insulated core to withstand the pressures of automated cable handling equipment and an armor-like force to resist potential underground damages.  This minimizes the risk of expensive repairs while enhancing profitability.

Through extensive testing, the EmPowr Link CL Advantage Cable has been proven to provide the equivalent physical properties, coefficient of friction and easy installation characteristics of our traditional EmPowr Link CL XLPE jacket construction, while offering enhanced ruggedized installation protection, reduced weight and diameter, and highly efficient fault current protection.  With these built-in benefits, lead-free compounds and General Cable’s recyclable reels, CL Advantage is also a total green solution.
