Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 1 AWG 1C Bare Copper Unshielded EPR PVC 5KV 100% Gaalflex Type MV-105 Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is a medium voltage power cable. It is designed with a 1 AWG (American Wire Gauge) single conductor, using bare copper. It's unshielded and insulated with Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), covered with a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket. The "5KV" indicates a 5 kilovolt rating, and "100%" may refer to the insulation level or coverage. "Type MV-105" specifies its suitability for medium voltage applications up to 105 degrees Celsius.

Also Known As:

This type of cable might be known by different names, depending on the manufacturer or the context in which it's used. However, the specific characteristics like 1 AWG, bare copper, unshielded, EPR, PVC, and its voltage rating are consistent identifiers.

Application:

It's typically used in power distribution and transmission for industrial, commercial, and utility settings. Suitable for both dry and wet locations, it can be used in aerial, conduit, open tray, and direct burial installations. It's particularly useful where medium voltage power is required, and in environments that demand high reliability and durability.
