Insulation
Okoguard is Okonite’s registered trade name for its exclusive ethylene-propylene base, thermosetting compound, whose optimum balance of electrical and physical properties is unequaled in other solid dielectrics. The clean red color of Okoguard is the result of an evolutionary development in ethylene-propylene rubber compounding to gain greater dependability of the electrical characteristics. The triple tandem extrusion of the screens with the insulation provides optimum electrical characteristics.

Jacket
The Okosheath-TS jacket on this cable is a vulcanized chlorinated polyethylene based compound which is mechanically rugged, flame, radiation, and oil resistant.

Applications
Okoguard Shielded-Okosheath-TS power cables are recommended for use as feeder circuits in utility generating plants, in distribution applications and for primary circuits in all industrial and commercial installations. These cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors (exposed to sunlight), in any raceway or underground duct, directly buried, or messenger supported.

Ampacities are from IEEE Std 835-1994 "IEEE Standard Power Cable Ampacities Tables". Values should be determined for the intended installation conditions.

(1) Per table "5 to 15 kV Shielded Single Conductors Extruded Dielectric Power Cable in Conduit in air 90°C conductor 40°C ambient air" No Sun No Wind.

(2) Per table "5 to 15kV Shielded Single Conductor Extruded Dielectric Power Cable in Underground Duct Bank - Triplexed - Single Circuit 25°C Earth Ambient" 90 rho 100% LF.

NOTE: For ampacities for cables installed in tray, see ICEA P-54-440 "Ampacities of Cables Installed in Cable Trays'

(3) 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.
