The Interlocked Armor MV-90 Cable Type MC EPR 5-15kV cable is a medium voltage cable assembly consisting of three insulated phase conductors and an aluminum or galvanized steel interlocked armor exterior.  The conductors are stranded annealed uncoated Class B copper; a popular choice in conductor material because the process of annealing copper softens the metal for improved flexibility without compromising the copper’s powerful conductive properties.  Covering the conductor is an extruded conducting thermosetting compound that serves as the conductor shield.  Conductors are then insulated with an ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and numerically surface printed for reference.  The three conductors are cabled together with a Class B stranded copper wire that serves as the grounding conductor to ensure steady conductivity.  The assembly is then wrapped in a cable tape to hold the cable together and to provide bedding for the aluminum or steel interlocked armor.  The external interlocked armor provides an extremely durable barrier that protects the conductors from corrosion and from objects that may damage the cables.

The Interlocked Armor MV-90 Cable Type MC EPR 5-15kV is a popular choice for use in generating stations and substations as well as in factories and processing plants.  Interlocked Armor MV-90 Cable Type MC EPR 5-15kV cable is approved for use in hazardous locations as specified by NEC.  The cable can be used in indoor or outdoor applications and can be installed aerially, directly buried, or installed in tray, trough, or in rack.
