Copper PE30 Tracer Wire
Brand: PRO-LINE Safety Products Co.PRO-TRACE ® COPPER PE30 is made from oxygen free copper cathode formed into copper rod.
Copper rod is pulled thru a series of drawing dies to achieve conductor diameter.
Conductor then undergoes a heat treating process (annealing), resulting in soft annealed copper.
The process above is what determines properties like break load and flexbility.
The next process is extrusion of the insulation, high-density, high molecular weight polyethylene (HMW-HDPE) spark test 5,000 VAC.
HDPE is considered the best tracer wire insulation due to cost, smoothness, and abrasion protection.
The final process is processing insulated wire onto reels.
Features- PRO-TRACE ® COPPER PE30 is used for tracer wire applications to conductively locate buried utility lines for the gas, water, sewer, telecommunication, and electrical markets..
- 30 mil, High-Density, HMWPE insulation provides excellent oxidative stability, toughness, abrasion, crush, chemical, oil, and moisture resistance. Provides superior long term aging performance with excellent environmental and thermal stress-cracking resistance.
- Available in 30 mil (30v) and 45 mil (600v) insulation for desired level of protection, but we only recommended 45 mil version when boring for extra abrasion protection.
- Environmentally friendly and RoHS compliant
- Recommended: Tracer-Lock® Connector #TL-LUG-SS. Is performs Main-to-Main or Main-to-Service connections without cutting or stripping, saving time and labor costs.
- Recommended: Pro-Trace® Grounding Mag Rod #PTANODE12. It provides far-end grounding to utilize 512 Hz or 8 kHz with pin-point accuracy and corrosion protection.
