APPLICATION:
Copper Shielded MV-105 15KV cable is primarily used for power circuits in commercial, industrial, refinery and petro-chemical plants; utility power generation and substations. The cable can be installed in wet or dry applications and is for use in aerial, conduit, open tray, and underground duct installations. It can be used in direct burial if installed with a ground conductor in close proximity. The cable is approved for temperature up to 105C and voltages up to 15kV.

CONDUCTORS:
Class B annealed compact or compressed bare copper per ASTM.

CONDUCTOR SHIELD:
Extruded thermoset semi-conducting stress-control layer over conductor.

INSULATION:
High dielectric strength EPR insulation with or without lead, contrasting in color to the black semi-conducting shield layers, extruded over the conductor shield.

INSULATION SHIELD:
Extruded, strippable semi-conducting layer over the insulation.

METALLIC SHIELD:
Helically applied 5 mil annealed copper tape over the insulation shield with an overlap of 25%.

JACKET:
Black low-friction, lead-free, flame-retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket tightly applied over the copper tape.

AMP RATINGS:
Conduit / Air @ 90C – 225 Amps
Conduit / Air @ 105C – 255 Amps

Underground / Duct @ 90C – 230 Amps
Underground / Duct @ 105C – 245 Amps

Tray @ 90C – 225 Amps
Tray @ 105C – 250 Amps

All values are nominal and subject to correction * Ampacities are in accordance with Table 311.60(C)(73) of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor copper cables in isolated conduit in air based on a conductor temperature of 90C (194F) or 105C (221F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient air temperature of 40C (104F). ** Ampacities are in accordance with Table 311.60(C)(77) of the NEC for triplexed or three single conductor copper cables in underground ducts (three conductors per duct), based on a conductor temperature of 90C (194F) or 105C (221F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient earth temperature of 20C (68F), electrical duct arrangement per Figure 311.60 Detail 1, 100% load factor, and earth thermal resistance (rho) of 90. *** Ampacities are based on single conductor Type MV-105 sizes #1/0 AWG and larger in an uncovered tray in accordance with Section 392.80(B)(2) of the NEC at an ambient air temperature of 40C (104F); the ampacities are based on 75% of the values per Table 311.60(C)(69), operating temperature denoted in column header. For cable trays with unventilated covers for more than 6 feet, the ampacities shall not exceed 70% of the values per Table 311.60(C)(69).
