Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 AWG 1C Bare Copper Unshielded EPR PVC 25KV 100% Gaalflex Type MV-105 Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for high-voltage electrical applications. It features a 4/0 American Wire Gauge (AWG) single conductor made of bare copper, which is known for its excellent electrical conductivity. The cable is unshielded and is insulated with Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and has a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) outer jacket. It is rated for a high voltage of up to 25 Kilovolts (KV) and is specified as 100% insulation level, which indicates standard thickness for the insulating material. The "Gaalflex Type MV-105" denotes a particular standard or series of the cable, typically used in medium voltage (MV) applications.

Also Known As:

This type of cable might be known by different names depending on the manufacturer or the region, but its specifications (4/0 AWG, 25KV, EPR insulation, PVC jacket) will be consistent across various nomenclatures.

Application:

It is commonly used in power transmission and distribution in industrial, utility, and commercial environments. Given its high voltage rating, it is suitable for applications where a robust and reliable power delivery is needed, such as in substations, power plants, or for feeding heavy machinery.
