Specification

About:

This cable features stranded uncoated copper conductors, providing excellent flexibility and conductivity. It is equipped with Okonite’s proprietary Okoguard insulation system, which is an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) based compound known for its excellent electrical properties and resistance to moisture and heat. The Okoclear-TS jacket is a thermosetting, semi-conducting material that provides additional electrical insulation and mechanical protection. The "MV-105" designation indicates that the cable is rated for medium voltage applications up to 15,000 volts and is designed for continuous operation at a maximum conductor temperature of 105°C.

Also Known As:

• 15KV EPR Insulated Power Cable
• Okonite MV-105 Cable
• Okoguard 15KV Cable
• Stranded Copper MV Power Cable

Applications:

• Okoguard shielded Okoclear-TS 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:

• UL 1072 (Standard for Medium Voltage Power Cables) for safe use in electrical distribution and transmission
• ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC 74 (Standard for Shielded Power Cables for Use in the Transmission and Distribution of Electric Energy)
• IEEE 1202 (Standard for Flame Testing of Cables for Use in Cable Tray in Industrial and Commercial Occupancies) for fire resistance
