Specification

Applications

Okoguard shielded three conductor Okoseal 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 industrial establishments and electric utilities, residential and commercial applications and others. An excellent alternative where aesthetics and clearances are an issue.

Insulation

Okoguard is Okonite’s registered trade name for its exclusive ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) based, thermosetting compound, whose optimum balance of electrical and physical properties is unequaled in other solid dielectrics.
Okoguard insulation, with the distinctive red color and a totally integrated EPR system, provides the optimum balance of electrical and physical properties for long, problem free service.

Jacket

The Okoseal (PVC) jacket supplied with this cable is mechanically rugged and has excellent resistance to oil and most chemicals

Assembly

Three 1/C Class B stranded copper conductors, triple tandem extruded, semiconducting EPR strand screen - Okoguard EPR insulation - extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen, shielding tape and an overall jacket. Three single conductors are cabled together and laid parallel to a copper clad steel messenger. The messenger and triplexed assembly are bound together with a PE coated copper or stainless steel strap.

Specfications

Conductor: 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 and UL 1072, AEIC CS8/ICEA S-97-682.
Insulation: Okoguard meets or exceeds the electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74 and UL 1072. The insulated conductors are tested in accordance with AEIC CS8/ICEA S-97-682.
Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen per ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, AEIC CS8/ICEA S-97-682 and UL 1072.
Sheild: 5 mil uncoated copper tape helically applied with 12.5% nominal overlap.
Jacket: Meets or exceeds electrical and physical requirements of ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, AEIC CS8/ICEA S-97-682 & UL 1072 for polyvinyl chloride jackets. UL listed as Type MV-105 and sunlight resistant in accordance with UL 1072.
Copperweld Messenger: Copper-clad steel stranded conductor per ASTM B228, and sized in accordance with ICEA P-79-561 for 150 ft. spans.
Assembly: Three single conductors are cabled together and laid parallel to a copper clad steel messenger.
Binder Strap: A sunlilght resistant polyethylene (PE) jacketed binder strap with an open lay is wound around the assembly to hold the messenger parallel to the cable axis.
