SPEC: 46305
1/0-19 CU 220 MILS NL-EPR 15KV 133% T/S BLACK SOLONON-TP UL
Southwire #: 55078499
Type MV-105 Single Conductor Copper, 220 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Jacket, Rated UL
Application & Features
Southwire’s 15KV cables are suited 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, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Rated at -25°C for cold bend. ST1 (low smoke) Rated for sizes 1/0 and larger. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.
