SPEC: 46460
CU Compressed 15kV NLEPR Insulation 133% IL AIA Red LSZH-TP Jacket. MV 105 - Tray Rated - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial
Type MV-105 Three Conductor Copper, 220 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, Aluminum Interlocked Armor (AIA), Thermoplastic SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TP) Jacket. Silicone Free
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. For uses in Class I and II, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502.Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.

* 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.
