Power cable coating compounds are disclosed, the coating compounds
including an ethylene alpha-olefin diene elastomeric terpolymer, and an
ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer having a Melt Index Ratio
I.sub.10/I.sub.2 of at least 7 and/or a Melt Index Ratio I.sub.21/I.sub.2
of at least 20. In various embodiments, the ethylene alpha-olefin
copolymer can be present in the coating compound in amounts up to 90
percent by weight, based on the weight of the ethylene alpha-olefin diene
elastomeric terpolymer and the ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer. Also
disclosed are electrical devices including extruded coating compounds,
the extruded compounds having low surface roughness at high extrusion
rates.
