High voltage cable is a narrow, technical market. Length, voltage class and documentation determine everything, and scrap value is the floor, not the answer.
High voltage cable starts at 69kV and runs upward through 115kV and 230kV constructions, typically XLPE insulated with a metallic sheath, or fluid filled and pipe type cable in older installations. These are engineered assets with test records.
Surplus high voltage cable usually comes from utility projects where a design changed, a line was rerouted, or a substation was rebuilt. Because the material is expensive and highly specific, documentation including test certificates and length records materially affects value.
| Voltage classes | 69kV, 115kV, 230kV |
|---|---|
| Insulation | XLPE, EPR, paper-oil (fluid filled) |
| Sheath | Lead, aluminum or copper with protective jacket |
| Standard | AEIC CS9, ICEA, IEEE 48 terminations |
| Documentation | Factory test reports, length records, reel tags |
For high voltage, documentation is worth as much as the cable. Factory test reports, dielectric test results and original reel tags let a utility accept the material; without them, even good cable is hard to place.
Where a lot is mixed, we separate it into usable wire and conductor value, so the credit you receive is transparent rather than a single blended number.
Georgia Power and Electric Membership Corporation projects, plus large industrial self-generation sites, produce high voltage surplus occasionally but in significant value. Most of it is purchased with documentation attached.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
Yes, when length and documentation support reuse. High voltage cable is evaluated on voltage class, sheath condition, test records and continuous length.
Factory test reports and length records. A utility will typically want to see proof of insulation integrity before accepting cable into a project.
Sometimes, when it is damaged or too short to reuse. The copper or aluminum content still has value, but that should be a last resort given the cost of the cable new.
