AEIC-CS9
AEIC-CS9 is a NEC / UL (USA) cable designation: XLPE = Cross-linked polyethylene insulation; the number before it is the wall in mils (AEIC CS9-06 Appendix E Table E-1, by voltage class); AEIC-CS9 = High voltage XLPE power cable, single conductor, 69 to 345 kV, as the makers print its legend (size, metal, wall in mils, class). 69, 115, 138, 161, 230 and 345 kV, 90 C. AEIC CS9-06 (1st edition, 2006); ICEA S-108-720.

What is AEIC-CS9 cable?
AEIC-CS9: High voltage XLPE power cable, single conductor, 69 to 345 kV, as the makers print its legend (size, metal, wall in mils, class). Rating: 69, 115, 138, 161, 230 and 345 kV, 90 C. Standard: AEIC CS9-06 (1st edition, 2006); ICEA S-108-720.
The legend North American makers print on a high voltage cable: "1250 kcmil Cu 709 mils XLPE 138 kV" (Southwire). Read as XLPE only with a wall in mils and a CS9 class after it, or with AEIC CS9 named. The wall by class is AEIC CS9-06 Appendix E Table E-1 and the sizes Table 2.1-1 (seen standard, the 2006 edition held); the shields, metallic shield and jacket are the HV makers' (CS9-06 sends them to ICEA S-108-720, not held). The designer builds it as its AEIC-CS9 family.

AEIC-CS9: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 1x630/150 138 kV. Each country's rules are applied to this build, keeping the conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath.
| Country | Standard | Name in that country | Verdict | Differences |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| International (IEC) | IEC 60840 | Cu/XLPE/CWS/PE 1x630/150 76/132 kV (to IEC 60840) | Close | rated 76/132 kV (same Um 145 kV); Insulation 18 → 17 mm; Overall diameter 84.5 → 82.5 mm |
Nominal values computed by each standard's rules, not manufacturer data. This is not a statement that two cables are interchangeable: the buyer's specification and the maker's type test decide.
AEIC-CS9 as the cable designer builds it, 1x630/150 138 kV
Overall diameter 84.5 mm, about 11,520 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.

AEIC-CS9 on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 84.5 mm and about 11,520 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 89 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | No single drum in KTG drums (Europe) takes it: the drum calculator splits it over several. | ||
| 1,000 m | No single drum in KTG drums (Europe) takes it: the drum calculator splits it over several. | ||
Barrel at least 25 × OD = 2,113 mm for a cable of this kind (High voltage (above 36 kV)): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.

Laying, sizes and datasheet: AEIC-CS9
AEIC-CS9 belongs to the family High voltage cables: the lowest laying temperature, bending radius, pulling, depth, drum handling and the test after laying, every rule with its sources. Laying and handling guide: High voltage cables
Its sizes are in AWG and kcmil, which are not the same as the nearest mm²: compare them by area and by resistance. AWG to mm²
