Aluminum Okopact Conductors
(1) Aluminum Okopact conductors are available on special order. To
order aluminum Okopact conductors, change the first three digits of the catalog number
from 114 to 134.
Ampacities
(2) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.73 of the NEC for
three single Type MV-90 conductors, or single conductors twisted together (triplexed) and
installed in an isolated conduit in air at an ambient temperature of 40°C and a conductor
temperature of 90°C.
(3) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.77 of the NEC for
three single conductors or triplexed cable in one underground raceway, three feet deep
with a conductor temperature of 90°C, 100% Load Factor, an ambient earth temperature of
20°C, and thermal resistance (RHO) of 90.
(4) Ampacities based on single Type MV-90 conductors, or single
conductors twisted together (triplexed, quadruplexed, etc.), size 1/0 Awg
and larger, installed in uncovered cable tray in accordance with Section
392.13 of the NEC at an ambient temperature of 40°C and a conductor
temperature rating of 90°C. In accordance with NEC Section 392.13(B)(1), the ampacities are 75% of the values given in NEC Table 310.69
(copper conductors). Where the cable tray is covered for more than six feet with solid
unventilated covers, the ampacities shall not exceed 93% of the values shown above.
Refer to the NEC, IEEE/ICEA-S-135 Power Cable Ampacities, or the Okonite Engineering
Data Bulletin for other ambient temperatures, circuit configurations or installation
requirements.
(5) Recommended size of rigid or nonmetallic conduit for three
conductors based on 40% maximum fill.
*The jam ratio, conduit I.D. to cable O.D. should be checked to avoid possible jamming.
