PowerGuard® Cu 5 kV 133% / 8 kV 100% EPR CTS PVC UL Type MV-105 (COMPACT)

Compact concentric stranded copper.

Extruded thermosetting semiconducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) shield which is free stripping from the conductor and bonded to the insulation.

Extruded, Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) – 5 kV 133% or 8 kV 100% insulation level.

Extruded thermosetting semiconducting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.

Flat, uncoated 5 mil thick copper tape helically applied with a minimum 25% overlap.

A polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket is extruded over the copper tape shield, meeting the physical requirements of Table 1, when tested by the methods specified in ICEA S-93-639. The jacket shall be free-stripping and not interfere with the contact between the flat copper tape and the underlying extruded insulation shield. The jacket is sunlight resistant and marked. The jacket shall contain a print legend marking, and sequential length (meter or feet) marking.

These conductors are manufactured and tested to meet or exceed the following standards:

• ASTM B496 – Compact Round Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors
• ASTM B3 – Soft or Annealed Copper Wire
• ICEA S-93-639 – 5-46 kV Shielded Power Cable for Use in the Transmission and Distribution of Electric Energy
• UL 1072 – Medium-Voltage Power Cables
