Medium voltage cable is bought in long lengths, pulled once, and rarely reused on the same project. A substation upgrade or a plant distribution change can leave a reel of 15kV concentric neutral cable that is entirely usable and completely in the way.
We review 5kV, 8kV, 15kV, 25kV, 35kV and 69kV+ cable, EPR and XLPE insulated, with copper or aluminum conductors and tape shield or concentric neutral construction.
| Specification | What we accept |
|---|---|
| Voltage classes | 5kV, 8kV, 15kV, 25kV, 35kV and 69kV+ (2.4kV and 4.16kV systems also reviewed) |
| Insulation | EPR, XLPE and cross-linked polyethylene with semi-conductive screens |
| Construction | Concentric neutral, copper tape shield, drain wire, armored and non-armored |
| Conductor sizes | #2 through 1000 MCM, including 1/0, 4/0, 500 and 750 MCM |
| Format | Full and partial reels; sealed reels preferred |
| Condition | New surplus and unused stock; pulled cable reviewed case by case with test information |
For MV and HV reels, send
- Voltage class and insulation type, EPR or XLPE
- Conductor size and material
- Shield or neutral construction: concentric neutral, tape shield or armored
- Full versus partial reel, and approximate footage
- The reel tag photo, since MV tags carry the test and length data
- Whether the cable has been energized or pulled
Tags and test data carry the value
On medium voltage cable the reel tag is the document. It records length, voltage class and the factory test. A tagged reel is straightforward to evaluate; a reel with no identification and no history is a much harder conversation, and often not something we can buy at all.
Wire and cable only
We do not buy transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, MCCs, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery or unrelated scrap. Mixed loads are fine as long as we are quoting the wire portion.
