Shield
A 5 mil copper longitudinal corrugated shield (LCS) is applied over the extruded
semiconducting insulation screen.This construction provides a substantially lower shield
resistance compared with a tight helically applied copper tape. The LCS resistance is also
extremely stable during load cycling. Jacket
The Okolon jacket on this cable is a vulcanized chlorosulfonated polyethylene base
compound which is mechanically rugged, flame, radiation, and oil resistant.
Applications
Okoguard shielded Okolon Type MV-105 power cables are recommended for use as feeder
circuits, in electric utility generating stations, for distribution circuits, and for
feeders or branch circuits in industrial and commercial installations.
Type MV cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors (exposed
to sunlight), in any raceway or underground duct, directly buried if installed in a system
with a grounding conductor in close proximity that conforms with NEC Section 250-51, or
messenger supported in industrial establishments and electric utilities. Sizes 1/0 AWG and
larger may also be installed in cable tray.
