[short]
250 MCM 3C MV105 15KV EPR/PVC Power Cable
Allowable Ampacity for 250 MCM AWG 3C MV105 15kV EPR/PVC Power Cable (Conduit): 350 Amps
Allowable Ampacity for 250 MCM AWG 3C MV105 15kV EPR/PVC Power Cable (Duct): 400 Amps
Applications:
The mv105 copper cable is an electrical wire used for power circuits up to 15,000 Volts when fixed in open air, conduit, or duct; in applications such as chemical plants, refineries, steel mills, industrial plants, commercial buildings, utility substations, and generating stations. The National Electric Code accepts this electrical cable for uses within 105°C for continuous operation, 140°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.
Also Known As:
250 mcm medium voltage power cables, 250 mv power cable, 250 mv105 cable, 250 mv105, 250 erp power cable, 250 mcm mv power cable, 250 mcm mv105 cable, 250 mcm mv105, 250 mcm erp power cable.
Standards:
- Industry: National Electrical Code (NEC). UL 1072. ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74. ICEA S-97-682. AEIC CS8. UL listed as type MV-105 for use in accordance with the NEC. Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are listed and marked “Sunlight-Resistant FOR CT USE” in accordance with NEC.
- Flame Test: UL 1685 (70,000 BTU/hr)
- Optional Flame Test: IEEE 1202 (70,000 BTU/hr)/CSA FT4. ICEA T-29-520 (210,000 BTU/hr.)
- Other: EPA 40 CFR, Part 261, for leachable lead content per TCLP. OSHA acceptable.
Construction
Conductors:
The MV power cable conductor is made of copper and has a conductor shield with soft bare annealed copper per ASTM B-3, Class B stranding per ASTM B-8 (compressed), or ASTM B-496 (compact).
Insulation:
A strong and enduring ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) is used as the insulation system. The good thing about this insulation is how friendly it is to human hands since it is a rubber, a material that tends to be soft but guarantees profound and reliable safety wires. This insulation is also environmentally friendly, it doesn’t contain any toxins which can cause harm to human, animals, and plants health.
Insulation Shield:
Thermoset semi-conducting polymeric layer free stripping from insulation.
Metallic Shield:
5 mil annealed copper tape with an overlap of 25%.
Jacket:
Reinforced insulation is provided by a PVC jacket, which is sunlight-resistant, per ICEA S-97-682 and UL Standard 1072.

Description:
Three conductor cable with stranded copper conductors, extruded insulation system consisting of a thermosetting semiconducting conductor shield, high dielectric strength EPROTENAX™ EPR insulation, thermosetting semiconducting insulation shield, helically applied bare copper tape shield, cabled with fillers and grounding conductors, overall binder tape, foamed polymeric layer for superior mechanical protection, longitudinally applied aluminum tape, extruded oil and hydrocarbon resistant polymeric layer, and overall sunlight resistant PVC jacket. Suitable for Class I Division 2 locations
Application & Benefits:
Welded aluminum armored cables (*in Class 1 Div 2 locations or if installed with cables rated 1000V or greater) with 5X the impact performance and 2X-3X the sidewall bearing pressure limit (@ 3000 lbs per rad-ft) This enables longer pulls than with Continuously Corrugated and Welded type cables.
Conductors:
Class B Compact concentric strand soft drawn annealed copper per ASTM
Insulation:
Natural high dielectric strength EPR-based insulation, combined with other materials and agents that enhance the electrical and mechanical characteristics assuring extended cable life.
Conductor Shield:
Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation Shield:
Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metalic Shield:
Helically applied non-magnetic copper tape(s) over the insulation shield with a minimum overlap of 15%. A Mylar ribbon is longitudinally applied under the copper tape shield for phase identification -1C w/Red, 1C w/Blue, and 1C w/Black.
Grounding Conductors:
Bare Stranded copper conductor, one in each interstice, per UL, ICEA, and ASTM.
Assembly:
Phase identified shielded conductors cabled with fillers and grounding conductors (as specified), forming a firm and cylindrical cable core. A binder tape is applied to maintain core symmetry and mechanical stability.
Mechanical Protection:
High strength and high crush resistant Airbag Layer extruded over the core assembly.
Chemical Protection:
A layer of Drylam which consists of aluminum tape and a chemical resistant extruded polymer layer is applied.
Jacket:
Sunlight resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket.
