Construction:

Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8. Tinned copper optional per ASTM B33
Conductor Shield:Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Insulation:5kV 133% /8KV 100% Insulation Level 115 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR)
Insulation Shield:Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
Copper Tape Shield:Helically wrapped 5 mil copper tape with 25% overlap
Overall Jacket:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 5kV 133% /8KV 100% cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial when installed with a grounding conductor in close proximity that conforms to NEC section 311.36 and 250.4(A)(5), aerially supported by a messenger and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 105°C for normal operation, 140°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Rated at -35°C for cold bend. ST1 (low smoke) Rated for sizes 1/0 and larger. PVC jacket is made with SIM technology and has a coefficient of friction COF of 0.2. Cable can be installed in conduit without the aid of lubrication. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure. These cables feature sunlight and moisture resistance, exceptional corona resistance, resistance to most chemicals, oils and acids and are flame retardant.
