Specification

About:

This cable is designed for medium voltage applications, featuring an ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation, which provides excellent electrical insulation properties, and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket that offers durability and resistance to various environmental factors. The 'MV-105' designation indicates its suitability for medium voltage applications up to 105°C, while '5KV-133%' and '8KV-100%' refer to its electrical stress withstand capabilities at 5 kilovolts and 8 kilovolts, respectively.

Also Known As:

• EPR Insulated PVC Jacketed Cable
• Aluminum Conductor Medium Voltage Cable
• 5KV/8KV Shielded Power Cable

Applications:

• Okoguard shielded Okoseal Type MV-105 power cables are recommended for use as feeder circuits, in electric utility generating stations, for distribution circuits, and for feeders or branch circuits in industrial and commercial installations.
• Type MV cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors  (exposed to sunlight), in any raceway or underground duct, directly buried if installed in a system with a grounding conductor in close proximity that conforms with NEC Section 315.36 and 250.4(A)(5), or messenger supported in industrial establishments and electric utilities.
• Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger may also be installed in cable tray as permitted by NEC Section 315.32(3).

Standards:

• IEEE 404: Standard for extruded and laminated dielectric shielded cable joints.
• ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC 74: For 5-35 kV shielded power cables.
• UL 1072: Standard for medium voltage power cables, ensuring they meet certain fire resistance and safety criteria.
