General Cable UniShield® High Speed Type MV-105 EPR Copper Wire Shield CPE Medium Voltage Power Shielded 5 kV and 8 kV UL

General Cable UniShield® High Speed Type MV-105 EPR Copper Wire Shield CPE Medium Voltage Power Shielded 5 kV and 8 kV UL

Product Details

Conductor: 2 AWG thru 1000 kcmil annealed bare copper compact Class B strand

Extruded Strand Shield (ESS): Extruded thermoset semi-conducting stresscontrol layer over conductor

Insulation: Lead-free Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, contrasting in color to the black semi-conducting shield layers

Composite Insulation Shield and Jacket: Six corrugated copper drain wires embedded in composite layers of semi-conducting thermoset copolymer and semi-conducting black flameretardant Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)

Applications:
• Installed in a broad range of commercial, industrial and utility projects such as pulp and paper mills, petrochemical plants, steel mills, textile mills, water and sewage treatment facilities, environmental protection systems, railroads, mines and fossil fuel utility generating stations
• Suitable for use in wet or dry locations when installed in accordance with NEC
• For use in aerial, conduit, open tray and underground duct installations
• For use in direct burial if installed in a system with a ground conductor that is in close proximity, and conforms with NEC 250.4(A)(5)

Features:
• Rated at 105?C
• Reduced conductor size and shield system provides the smallest premium medium-voltage shielded power cable with full insulation
• Smaller outside dimensions reduce the size of duct needed or increase the ampacity per duct
• Low friction for easy pulling
• All features contribute to faster and easier installation
• Superior cold bend and cold impact performance
• Stable and constant shield short circuit performance
• Excellent heat and moisture resistance
• Outstanding corona resistance
• Flexibility for easy handling
• High dielectric strength
• Low dielectric loss
• Low moisture absorption
• Electrical stability under stress
• Chemical-resistant
• Sunlight-resistant
• Meets cold bend test at -55?C

Compliances:
• 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 NEC, UL File # E90501
• UL 1685 (Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger) UL Flame Exposure Test
• Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are listed and marked “Sunlight-Resistant FOR CT USE” in accordance with NEC
• IEEE 1202 (70,000 BTU/hr)/CSA FT4
• EPA 40 CFR, Part 261 for leachable lead content per TCLP method
• OSHA Acceptable

Packaging:
• Material cut to length and shipped on nonreturnable wood reels. Lengths in excess of 10,000 lbs. are provided on returnable steel reels that require a deposit
• Extra charges apply for cuts less than 1000 ft., lagging, pulling eyes, paralleling and triplexing
NOTE: Due to the semi-conducting properties of the cable jacket, multi-point grounding is recommended for all UniShield® installations.
