Assembly
The Type MV-90 conductors are assembled with fillers and a binder
tape into a round core. A bare stranded copper grounding conductor(s),
located in the outer interstices, is provided for grounding. A continuously
corrugated welded aluminum sheath C-L-X encases the cable core. The C-L-X
sheath is protected with a low temperature yellow Okoseal®( (PVC)
jacket. The impervious, continuous, corrugated aluminum C-L-X sheath provides complete protection against moisture, liquids and gases in
addition to its excellent mechanical strength. Also, the aluminum C-L-X sheath has adequate ampacity capability to be used as a grounding
conductor. The overall Okoseal (PVC) jacket allows the cable to be direct buried in the ground, embedded in concrete or areas subjected
to a corrosive atmosphere. Applications
C-L-X power cables are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system.
They are designed specifically for use on feeders and branch circuits in industrial power
distribution systems. C-L-X power cables may be installed in both exposed and concealed
work, wet and dry locations, direct burial in the earth, or embedded in concrete. They may
be installed on metal racks, troughs, in cable trays or secured to supports not greater
than 6 feet apart. C-L-X power cables are also approved for Classes I, II
and III. Divisions 1 and 2 and Class I, Zones 1 and 2 hazardous locations - NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503
and 505.
2.4 kV Non-Shielded cables discharge normally in service when spacing between
phases is non-uniform or when phases are in close proximity to a grounded
surface.
