SPEC: 46255
CU Compressed 5/8kV NLEPR Insulation 133/100% IL ARMOR-X® PVC Jacket. MV 105 - Tray Rated - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - VFD Cable
Type MV-105 Three Conductor Copper, 115 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, Continuous Corrugated Welded Aluminum Armor - ARMOR-X®, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket. Suitable for VFD Applications. Type MC HL. Silicone Free
Application
Southwire’s 5KV ARMOR-X<SUP>®</SUP> MC HL are armored cables for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 105°C for normal operation, 140°C for emergency overload, 250°C for short circuit conditions, and -50°C for cold bend. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501, 502, and 503. Suitable for VFD application.

* NEC ampacities are based on:
* For Duct: Table 310.60(C)(13) Detail 1.
* For Free Air: Table 310.60(C)(5).
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
* Sequence Impedance values are based on Rho Earth Resistivity: 100 Ohm-Meter/1000ft.
* Capacitive Reactance is between Phase-to-Shield.
