SPEC46272 CU Compressed 8kV NLEPR Insulation 133% IL CPE-TP Jacket. MV 105 - Tray Rated - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial
Type MV-105 Single Conductor Copper, 140 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, Thermoplastic Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE-TP) Jacket, Dual Rated UL/CSA. Silicone Free
Application
Southwire’s 8KV cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial when installed with a grounding conductor in close proximity that conforms to NEC section 311.36 and 250.4(A)(5), 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 -35°C for cold bend when UL listed. Rated at -25°C for cold bend and cold impact and marked with "LTDD" when CSA listed or dual UL/CSA listed. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure. CT rated 1/0 and larger.
