MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES

Design Parameters
Conductor: Class A or B Compressed concentric stranded aluminum alloy 1350 per ASTM B 231.
Stranded conductors are water-blocked with conductor filling compound.
Conductor Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield which is free stripping from the
conductor and bonded to the insulation.
Insulation: Extruded, unfilled Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) as defined in
ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 - 100% insulation level.
Insulation Shield: Extruded thermosetting semiconducting shield with controlled adhesion to the insulation providing the required balance between electrical integrity and ease of stripping.
Metallic Shield: Solid bare copper wires helically applied and uniformly spaced.
Water Block: Water-blocking agents applied over the insulation shield and around the neutral wires
to resist longitudinal water penetration. Longitudinal water penetration shall be tested in accordance with the latest edition of ICEA T-34-664 except that the minimum requirement is 15 psig for 1
hour.
Jacket:The outer jacket is an extruded-to-fill black non-conducting cross-linked polyethylene jacket,
meeting the physical requirements of Table 1 when tested by the methods specified in ANSI/ICEA S94-649. The jacket shall be free-stripping and not interfere with an intimate contact between the neutral wires and the underlying extruded insulation shield. The jacket shall contain a print legend
marking, sequential length marking and three longitudinal extruded red stripes.

1) Extruded layer thicknesses and insulation and insulation shield diameters are in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for concentric neutral cables rated 5-46 kV and also meet the requirements of the latest revisions
of AEIC CS8. Dimensions and weights not designated as minimum or maximum are nominal values and are subject to manufacturing tolerances.
2) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90C-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 90C, and 36 depth of burial.
3) Ampacities based on cables operating in a 3-phase installation with one cable per phase, flat spaced and touching, earth rho of 90C-cm/ W, earth ambient of 20C, neutral wires grounded at both ends, 75% load factor, conductor temperature of 90C, and 36 depth of burial.
+) UL Type MV-105 PowerGuard-XL is rated MV-105 in accordance with the UL 1072 Standard. It should be noted that utilizing a 105C normal operating conductor temperature will increase cable ampacity rating but
will reduce the shield fault capability slightly. If the user plans on operating these cables at 105C conductor temperature for normal operation and 140C for emergency overload, please contact American Wire Group
for the applicable cable ampacity and shield fault capability ratings. Another important consideration is that the migration of soil moisture away from the cable is more likely at the higher operating conductor temperature and can result in an increase in soil thermal resistivity, resulting in an increase in conductor and soil temperature.
