About:

The Okoguard MV-105 15kV Power Cable is a medium voltage cable designed for power distribution and transmission in a range of environments. It features a stranded uncoated copper conductor, Okoclear-TP insulation, and a copper shield, all designed to provide reliable performance and safety in power distribution.

Also Known As:

• Okoguard: Refers to the proprietary technology or material used in the insulation or construction.
• Stranded Uncoated Copper: Describes the conductor material and configuration.
• Okoclear-TP: Indicates the type of thermoplastic insulation used.
• MV-105: Specifies the cable's application for medium voltage, 105°C maximum operating temperature.
• 15kV: Denotes the voltage rating.

Applications:

• Okoguard shielded Okoclear-TP 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, where a cable with low smoke/zero halogen characteristics is needed.
• 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.
• May be installed in cable trays where permitted by NEC Section 392 as permitted by
NEC Section 315.32(3).

Standards:

• ANSI/ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC 74 for 5-35 kV shielded power cables.
• UL 1072 for medium voltage power cables.
• IEEE 1202 or CSA FT4 for flame resistance.

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated copper compact stranded per ASTM B-496.
• Strand Screen: : Extruded semiconducting EPR strand screen. Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74 & S-97-682, AEIC CS8, and UL 1072.
• Insulation: Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74 & S-97-682, AEIC CS8, and UL 1072.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semi conduction EPR insulation screen. Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74 & S-97-682, AEIC CS8, and UL 1072.
• Shield: 5 mil bare copper tape helically applied, with 25% minimum overlap.
• Jacket: Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639 for Type I thermoplastic polyolefin jackets.
UL listed as Type MV-105, sunlight resistant and for use in cable tray in accordance with UL 1072.
