4/0 AWG 3-Conductor Shielded EPR/PVC MV-105 Cable – 5 kV / 8 kV

This 4/0 AWG 3-conductor MV-105 power cable is designed for medium-voltage power circuits up to 5 kV (133%) and 8 kV (100%) in industrial, utility, and commercial power distribution systems. The cable features EPR insulation, copper tape shielding, and a PVC outer jacket, providing dependable electrical performance and long service life in demanding environments.

The 4/0 AWG stranded copper conductors offer a balance of ampacity, flexibility, and manageable diameter, making this cable well suited for installation in open air, conduit, duct systems, or direct burial. It is approved for use in wet and dry locations and commonly specified where medium-voltage reliability and code compliance are required.
