Product Details

EPR-PVC 5kV Unshielded Type MV90 Power Cable

Product Description:

The EPR-PVC Type MV-90 cable features a Class B concentrically stranded copper conductor that bears ethylene propylene (EPR) insulation and an external polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket.  The copper conductor is an uncoated annealed copper.  The process of annealing the copper makes the softens the metal and makes the product more flexible without compromising the copper’s powerful conductive properties.  The EPR insulation helps to stabilize the conductor’s current while providing mechanical strength and durability to the cable.  Directly covering the insulation layer is the PVC jacket,

Applications:

The Type MV-90 cable is designed to transmit medium voltages (5,000 Volts) and can function in temperatures up to 90°C.  With a high tolerance for extreme temperatures and the ability to perform in wet and dry conditions, this cable can be used in many different applications.  The cable can be installed in tray, trough, conduit, ducts, strung aerially, or directly buried when in compliance with NEC specifications.  The cable is widely used in commercial, industrial, and electric utility operations as branch circuits, distribution, and main feeder cable. 

Specifications:

• This cable meets requirements set forth by Underwriters Laboratories, classifying the cable as Type MV-90.  This classification, as indicated by the MV-90 acronym, certifies the cable is safe to transmit medium voltages of up to 5,000 volts and can function continuously in temperatures up to 90°C. 
• Ethylene propylene components of this cable conform to ICEA pub no. S-68-516 and NEMA pub no. WC8.

Construction: 

-                 Conductors

• The conductive components of this cable are made with Class B stranded annealed uncoated copper.  Copper is an extremely powerful conductor and when the annealing process is applied, the conductor becomes more malleable; an admired quality in most applications.

-                 Insulation

• The Class B copper conductor is insulated by ethylene propylene rubber (EPR).  This insulation helps to stabilize the conductive current and add mechanical strength to the overall assembly. 

-                 Jacket

• The exterior PVC jacket serves as the cable’s first line of defense against corrosion to the conductors.  The PVC jacket is flame-retardant and it is resistant to sunlight and moisture.
