Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 AWG 1C Bare Copper Unshielded EPR PVC 35KV 133% Gaalflex Type MV-105 Cable: 100 Amps

About:

MV-105 Cable: This is a medium voltage power cable, specifically designed for electrical power transmission. It features a 4/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) single conductor, composed of bare copper. The cable is unshielded and utilizes Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) for insulation, with a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket. Its rating is 35KV (kilovolts) with a 133% insulation level, signifying enhanced insulation thickness and strength, ideal for higher voltage and more demanding applications.

Also Known As:

This type of cable can be referred to as a 4/0 AWG medium voltage power cable, bare copper unshielded cable, EPR insulated PVC jacketed cable, or high-voltage industrial power cable.

Application:

It's commonly employed in power distribution and transmission in industrial, utility, and commercial settings. The cable's high voltage rating makes it particularly suitable for applications where robust insulation and high power transmission are required, such as in substations, power plants, and other heavy-duty electrical environments.
