5kV FAA L-824 Type C Shielded Airfield Lighting Cable

5kV FAA L-824 Type C Shielded Airfield Lighting Cable

FAAL-824 Type C cable is used to connect transformers and current regulators in airport lighting systems within series circuits. This cable is suitable for fixed installations such as taxiway, runway, touchdown zone, landing area, and holding area lighting systems. It can be installed via conduit laying, channel laying, overhead laying, or direct burial methods.

5kV FAA L-824 Type C Shielded Cable Application

  • Runway Approach Light System: A series of lights extending outward from the runway threshold, guiding pilots to align with the runway centerline during the approach phase.
  • Runway Edge Lights: Mark the runway edge.
  • Part of the Precision Approach Path Indicator System.
  • Any airport ground lighting circuit requiring high voltage to be delivered from a constant current regulator to a series of luminaires.

Why is 5kV FAA L-824 Type C Shielded Cable Special for Airports?

  • Constant Current Operation: Airport lighting utilizes series circuits powered by constant current regulators (typically 6.6A). L-824 cable is specifically engineered for the unique voltage stresses inherent in this open-circuit design (i.e., full regulated voltage may be present at break points).
  • Fault Tolerance: The shielding layer and robust construction are critical for locating and managing ground faults, preventing catastrophic failures.
  • Environmental Durability: Must withstand moisture, jet fuel, de-icing fluids, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress from soil movement.
