3/C CU 15kV 220 NLEPR 133% ARMOR-X PVC MV-105

3/C CU 15kV 220 NLEPR 133% ARMOR-X PVC MV-105

Description

Type MV-105 Three Conductor Copper, 220 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level, Tape Shield, Continuous Corrugated Welded Aluminum Armor (Armor-X), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket

Application:

Southwire’s 15KV ARMOR-X are armored cables 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, 250°C for short circuit conditions, and -50°C for cold bend. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501, 502, and 503.
