Composite Insulation
Okoguard-Okolon® is Okonite's trade name for its ethylene propylene-chlorosulfonated polyethylene composite insulation. The combination of the two materials provides a dielectric which has excellent resistance to heat, mechanical abuse, flame, weathering, most oils, acids and alkalies.

The advantages of Okoguard EPR, with a proven track record of over 30 years as a medium voltage insulation, are now offered in low voltage cables.

Applications
Okoguard-Okolon 2000 volt power cables are recommended for use in all low voltage circuits where continuity of service is the prime consideration. They can be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors in conduit, underground ducts, approved raceways. These cables may also be installed in cable tray (size 1/0 AWG kcmil and larger per NEC 392.3).

Specifications
Conductors: Uncoated copper solid per ASTM B-3, compress stranded per ASTM B-8, or compact per ASTM B-496.

Composite Insulation: meets or exceeds all requirements of ICEA S-95-658, NEMA WC/70, NEMA WC 8 and UL Standard 44.

Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as Type RHH or RHW-2, VW-1. Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are also marked "Sunlight resistant, for use in cable tray".

Product Features
  • Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger pass the Vertical Tray Flame Test requirements of UL 1581 for use in cable tray.
  • Passes the ICEA T-29-520 210,000 Btu/hr. vertical tray flame test (sizes 2/0 AWG and larger).
  • Passes the IEEE 383-1974 Vertical Tray Flame Test.

Ampacities

(1) Ampacities are based on Table 310.16 of the National Electrical Code for these 90°C rated conductors at an ambient temperature of 30°C. The 75°C wet column is provided for additional information.

The ampacities shown apply to open runs of cable, installation in any approved raceway, direct burial in the earth, or as aerial cable on a messenger. Derating for more than three current carrying conductors within a raceway is in accordance with NEC Section 310.15.B.2.

The ampacities shown also apply to cables installed in cable tray in accordance with NEC Section 330.80.

(2) Based on three (3) conductors in a single enclosed or exposed conduit. Capacities based on 40°C air ambient using ICEA method. For 30°C ambient multiply values by 110; for 50°C multiply by 90. For other ambients or installation conditions refer to Okonite's engineering Data Book EHB-90.
