High Voltage Shielded Cable (HVSC )

High Voltage Shielded Cable (HVSC)

LPI® HVSC Plus LPI’s “High Voltage Shielded Cable” (HVSC Plus) is a purpose designed, high-integrity, low-impedance cable that is used to safely convey lightning currents to earth with minimal risk of side flashing or structure electrification. The design of the HVSC incorporates carefully selected dielectric components to ensure optimum performance under the impulse or “transient” voltages and currents imposed by lightning discharges.

LPI’s new HVSC Plus provides improved features as a dedicated insulated lightning down conductor:

  • Double the voltage withstand performance of past versions.
  • 35% reduction in the mass per unit length of the cable.
  • Improved manufacturing consistency
    via a “triple extrusion” process.
  • Reduced voltage stress via thin, semi conductive screen layers.
  • Improved material parameters and performance and
  • Complies with IEC 60332-1 (flame retardancy testing).

Description

The design of the cable is based on the optimization of all of the key parameters associated with dealing with lightning discharges and the subsequent voltage and current transients, including impedance, inductance, capacitance, insulation thickness (withstand voltage) and all of the relevant lightning statistics, plus practical aspects such as size, flexibility and mass.
