Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 250 MCM 1C Bare Copper Unshielded EPR PVC 15KV 133% Gaalflex Type MV-105 Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for medium to high voltage applications. It features a 250 MCM American Wire Gauge (AWG) single conductor made of bare copper. This cable is unshielded, with an Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation and a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket. It's rated for up to 15 Kilovolts (KV) and has a 133% insulation level, indicating a thicker insulation layer for enhanced electrical performance. The "Gaalflex Type MV-105" designation refers to a specific standard or brand of cable designed for medium voltage applications.

Also Known As:

It may be referred to by other names based on regional or manufacturer-specific nomenclature, but the essential characteristics (250 MCM AWG, 15KV rating, 133% insulation level, EPR, and PVC components) are typically consistent across different names.

Application:

This cable is likely used in medium voltage power distribution and transmission systems, such as in industrial, utility, and commercial power circuits. Its construction makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including in conduits or direct burial settings.
