15-25KV MV-105 EPR/PVC Copper Tape Shield cable Application
15-25KV Shielded MV-105 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 105°C and voltages up to 25kV.
15-25KV MV-105 EPR/PVC Copper Tape Shield cable Specifications
CONDUCTORS: • Class B annealed compact or compressed bare copper per ASTMCONDUCTOR 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
• Optional water block available upon request
