About LS Cable & System U.S.A., Inc.
LS Cable & System, headquartered in Anyang, South Korea was established in May 1962 and is a worldwide leader in high voltage, extra high voltage underground cables and submarine cable and has subsidiary companies throughout the world including 15 factories, 30 sales offices, and 3 R&D centers in 17 different countries. In 2006 LS Cable & System completed its first ever 345kV Turnkey Project in the U.S. and acquired Superior Essex, known worldwide as the leader in medium voltage, high voltage and extra high voltage underground cables, in 2007 to expand its presence in the Americas.
Expanding on the success of LS Cable, Superior Essex launched its Energy division to manufacture and commercialize energy wire and cable products and distribution systems. With revenues exceeding $8 billion, LS Cable provided significant capital and technical expertise needed to construct one of the most technologically advanced cable plants in the world. In 2012, a state-of-the-art energy cables manufacturing facility opened in Tarboro, North Carolina. The 294,000 square foot facility features high-speed manufacturing equipment allowing the Energy division to be competitive and provide world class, quality products and service to our customers. The plant also has a 128.5 ft. continuous catenary vulcanization (CCV) tower with state-of-the-art machinery that produces medium voltage cables efficiently with upside capabilities to produce high voltage cables.
In April 2017, the LS Group acquired the Energy division from Superior Essex to create a subsidiary under the LS Cable & System umbrella. LS Cable & System U.S.A., Inc. (LSCUS) is a leading U.S. manufacturer and supplier of energy wire and cable products and distribution systems serving the Commercial, Industrial, Renewable Energy and Utility markets. Our electrical product offering includes Low Voltage 300V and 600V instrumentation cables for control systems, audio, intercoms, energy management, and alarm controls; Low Voltage 600V control, power and VFD cables for your industrial or utility power or station control circuits; Medium Voltage 5kV through 46kV power cables for your primary power and distribution circuits, Photovoltaic Wire XLPE, Type PV, 600V and 2000V for the renewable solar market, and busway energy distribution systems all in full compliance to U.S. industry standards (ASTM, ICEA, AEIC, UL, IEEE, NEC, OSHA, RoHS, and EPA). We continuously participate in the development of new products, using both copper and aluminum conductors, a wide array of compounds for insulation and jackets, and shielding materials, providing our customers with an extensive line of Energy wire and cable products.
LSCUS uses SureClean™, a proprietary clean material handling system. This system was designed as a contained space, where compound pellets for the strand shield, insulation and insulation shield, including Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE) and Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), are transferred under rigorous control to help reduce particulate contamination and control other environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and pressure. By using the cleanroom technology to feed the Catenary Continuous Vulcanization (CCV) line, LSCUS achieves better than Class 100, for material handling; avoiding contamination that can adversely impact performance and service life. This process is used for all three components required for a true triple extrusion process.
For our Medium Voltage cables, we successfully completed the Core Qualification third-party testing outlined in ICEA S-94-649 and AEIC CS8 for our Medium Voltage product line (5kV through 35kV) for cables insulated with XLPE, TR-XLPE, and EPR compounds. Our MV UD EPR is MV-90 per UL 1072 and we have received RUS acceptances for our MV UD TR-XLPE and EPR cables.
The Core Qualification testing was performed by a recognized third-party laboratory, Cable Technology Laboratories, Inc. located in New Jersey, U.S. The testing performed included the Accelerated Water Treeing Test, which is a test procedure that accelerates the aging of the cable to promote tree growth with subsequent electrical testing of the aged cables after 120 days, 180 days, and 360 days of aging. The cables also underwent numerous other electrical and thermo-mechanical tests and continues to outperform under rugged testing conditions.
With hundreds of years of cable and industry experience, our manufacturing experts and knowledgeable employees provide customers with quality products, access to leading-edge technologies, technical expertise and exceptional customer service.
