160-23-3943 500 MCM 1C Aluminum Unshielded EPR Concentric BC 1/3 Neutral 15KV Okoguard URO Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 160-23-3943 500 MCM 1C Aluminum Unshielded EPR Concentric BC 1/3 Neutral 15KV Okoguard URO Cable:100 Amps

About:

This is a medium voltage power cable with a voltage rating of 15KV, designed primarily for underground residential distribution (URO) systems. It features a single aluminum conductor, insulated with Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), and includes a concentric bare copper neutral.

Also Known As:

• 500 MCM AWG Single Conductor Medium Voltage Cable
• 15KV URO Aluminum Cable
• Unshielded EPR 15KV Cable

Application:

• Okoguard URO cables provide excellent circuit longevity in underground residential distribution systems. They can be buried direct or installed in underground ducts or conduits.

Standards:

• Complies with relevant IEEE standards for medium voltage power cables.
• Meets necessary ANSI specifications for installation and performance in underground residential distribution systems.
• Flame retardant, moisture, and chemical resistance standards are also typically met, adhering to industry requirements.

Construction:

• Central Conductor: Aluminum per ASTM B-609, Class B stranded per B-231.
• Conductor Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649 and AEIC CS8.
• Insulation: Extruded Okoguard meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649 for ethylene-propylene rubber and AEIC CS8.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649 and AEIC CS8.
• Concentric Conductor: Bare copper wire
