Product Information

Specification

About:

The Okoguard series features robust power cables specifically engineered to deliver high electrical performance and safety in medium voltage power distribution. The MV-105 designation indicates that this cable is suitable for 15 kilovolts and is insulated with a high-quality, heat-resistant material.

Also Known As:

This cable may also be referred to by its specifications, such as 15KV MV-105, or by its unique construction features, such as bare copper shielded with binder tape.

Application:

Okoguard shielded three conductor Okoclear-TS Type MV-105 power cables are  recommended for distribution circuits, and for feeders or branch circuits in industrial and utility power distribution systems. 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, cable tray, or messenger supported in industrial establishments and electric utilities.

Standards:

The cable meets rigorous industry standards to ensure safety, reliability, and performance. Common standards for such cables include IEEE 1202 (for flame testing), ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC 74 for power cables up to 46kV, and UL 1072 for medium voltage power cables.

Construction:

• Conductors: 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, CSA C68.10 and UL 1072.
• Insulation: Okoguard meets or exceeds the electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, CSA C68.10 and UL 1072. The insulated conductors are tested in accordance with AEIC CS8.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen per ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, AEIC CS8, CSA C68.10 and UL 1072.
• Shield: 5 mil uncoated copper tape helically applied with 12.5% nominal overlap
• Phase Identification: Color coded (black, red, blue) polyester ribbon laid longitudinally under the copper tape shield.
• Grounding Conductor: Uncoated copper compact stranded per ASTM B-496 and sized in accordance with UL 1072.
• Assembly: Cabled with fillers and ground wire in the interstices, binder tape overall.
• Jacket: Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, CSA C68.10 and UL 1072 for Type II crosslinked polyolefin jackets UL Listed as Type MV-105, sunlight resistant for use in cable tray, and for direct burial in accordance with UL 1072.
