Continental's unique construction of SASP featuring tinned copper, silicone rubber insulated, glass braided conductors, reinforced asbestos braid sheath and overall stainless steel armor withstands repeated exposures to 1300C soak ing pit and furnace environments plus providing excellent abrasion resistance as encountered on take-up reels or in traverse. SASP was de signed in conjunction with steel mill engineering and electrical people and has proven itself in a great variety of applications and environments. Only direct metal spills or abnormal mechanical damage will require it's replacement. Users have reported up to 3 years normal usage life and beyond. Here are a few examples of the application and performance of SASP cables: At some steel mills, SASP is used exclusively for slag car and teeming ladle car motors. When cable replacement is necessary, it is normally due to severe mechanical damage. With severe me chanical abuse, the cable requires replacement only after an average of 6 to 8 months of service. SASP used as the input cable to slag car cable tension reels has been buried in slag for over 2 years with no failure, and continually gives 1 to 2 years service life for slag and. ladle cars in BOF mills, being replaced only when direct spills occur, SASP cable has been in continuous operation on some soaking pits for almost 5 years. A four conductor power and eight conductor control cable go to each pit cover from tension reels. At each draw and fill the cable is exposed to the full flame and heat of the pit at a distance of only 4 to 5 feet over the pit. No electrical failures have occured in this application. SASP is used exten sively for soaking pit cover control wiring and for control wiring of overhead tong cranes where it provides a minimum of 2 years service. SASP is also used for external flexible power and control wiring to blast furnace mud guns with excellent results due to the heat and moisture resistance of the silicone rubber insulation. in applications where the cable is not subjected to high radiant heat (surface temperature less than 400#C), and is protected from direct spills and extensive abrasion, the use of SASP cable without the stainless steel armor is recommended. Such applications include overhead cranes where the cable is on traverse or festooned and are in the proximity of furnaces and rolling mills. Here the reinforced asbestos braid outer covering gives high abrasion along with excellent heat resistance. NOTE: When using SASP for the first time, it would be well to follow a few standard precautions in the assembly of the sys tem. Since this cable will be used in high temperature areas, the use of a good quality termination is recommended, preferably plated materials that prevent oxidation of the termination and resultant high resistance points. Otherwise good mechanical tightness in securing the armor is all that is needed. Always adhere to the minimum bending radius (12 times cable O.D.) when making terminations or providing for strain release. Stainless steel strain release fixtures are also rec ommended. The weight of SASP cable may be greater than types previously used, therefore ten sion on take-up reels may need to be adjusted to compensate. High spots, and kinking can develop if there is insufficient tightness. It is well to check with the reel manufacturer giving him the weight and diameter of the cable for his recom mendations. * BOX 1863 YORK, PA. 17403 TWX (310) 637-4847 PHONE (717)' 792-2644 2 .619 .659 .727 .881 .967 1.079 1.235 1.407 1.499 AWG SIZE 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 1 1/0 SASP-X600 DIMENSIONAL DATA^ 3 .647 .685 .760 .935 1.025 1.150 1.305 1.490 1.590 CABLE 0.

RBB 00120 Following these simple procedures will result in greatly extended cable life. Continental makes several variations of SASP cable for world use. SASP-XM is designed for millimeter wire sizes (metric system) and 1000 volt insulation service required in most of the world. All SASP Single Conductors are given a 100% inspection for visual and dimensional conformity, electrical continuity, conductor resistance and a spark test. The completed cable receives 100% dielectric proof testing, insulation resistance measurements, and continuity checks. AMPACITY The maximum conductor temperature rating of SASP-X600 is 230C. This means that the insula tion will retain its mechanical and electrical in tegrity at this temperature for at least 20,000 hours. Ambients are seldom this high, thus the cable lasts longer. The practical temperature that copper transmits power before the tosses become prohibitive is 125C. Therefore the ampacities in the table are calculated for a maximum con ductor temperature of 125C, when that conduc tor is insulated and in free air at a 30C ambient. Corrections or formula are given to correct am pacity for other temperatures.
