TECO & PILC Cable
“We only replace PILC cable that goes bad. We have about 95% in our Network system downtown. About 75% in our UCD system downtown. And about 60% at our UCD system at TIA our airport. We use P&C transition modules for take offs to our switchgears. The cable box is filled using G&W 219 insulating oil heated to 250 degrees Celsius,” John clarifies.
TECO utilise a mix of traditional PILC cable jointing accessories including varnished cambric tape from Mac Products.
