The only difference between this cable and the one discussed above is mainly on the shielding aspect. EPR-PVC Type MV-90 cable is not shielded
whereas 5kV-8kV Type MV-105 cable is heavily shielded. This cable features Class B concentric strands of a bare annealed copper conductor
that is insulated with an Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and coated with and outer jacketing layer of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The use
of annealed copper conductor affirms the flexibility of this cable. Annealing process ensures that the copper becomes more soft and flexible
without interfering with its good electrical conductivity properties.
This cable is approved to meet the following standards:
1.Tests of approvals to serve as a Type MV-90 in accordance to MV-90 acronym, which authorities the cable to perform under
temperatures not exceeding 90degrees Celsius while transmitting medium power voltage up to 5000 volts.
2.EPR is approved to comply with ICEA S-68-516 test and NEMA no. WC8
Why go for this Cable?
Annealed copper conductor makes the cable flexible enough and gives you easy time during installation as compared to the standard copper
conductors which are stiff and rigid. It reduces the termination time because of its malleability as it requires less effort to handle,
especially when bending and folding it to fit in your wiring channel. I would recommend that you make this Type MV-90 EPR-PVC cable your
cable of choice and consider it in your power lines.
EPR insulation offers a superb mechanical strength as well as durability to your cable, thus stabilizing the current flow in the conductors of your cable. You need cables insulated by ethylene propylene rubber in your power lines to ensure you of a long serving period. This cable has an EPR insulation that keeps the cable from both chemical and mechanical damages that may arise in the environment, such as abrasion, chloride chemicals, moisture and oils.
This cable is jacketed with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer on the outer surface. PVC is a very tough plastic coating that provides protection to the cable and the electrician during and after the installation. During installation cables may be pulled along the ground, creating friction to act on the surface of the cable in contact with the ground leading to wear and tear of the cable. Well, worry no more for this EPR-PVC Type MV-90 cable because it is covered with a strong PVC jacket that protects it from damages such as wear and tear. Electricians do not have to worry about the risks associated with electrocutions as this cable is not left bare but rather insulated and jacketed with EPR and PVC respectively, as a safety measure.
Applications
It is primarily designed as a dual serving cable with a capacity to operate in both wet and dry environmental conditions. This cable is
widely applied in industrial, commercial and electric utility installed through cable trays, ducts, troughs, direct burial or aerial.
