5 kV / 8 kV 3-Conductor Armored Shielded EPR/PVC MV-105 Cable

Medium-voltage MV-105 power cables designed for 5 kV (133%) and 8 kV (100%) electrical distribution in industrial, utility, and heavy-commercial applications. These cables feature three stranded copper conductors, EPR insulation, copper tape shielding, and armored PVC construction, providing reliable electrical performance and mechanical protection in demanding environments.

Designed for installation in open air, conduit, duct systems, or direct burial, these cables are suitable for wet and dry locations and are commonly used where moderate medium-voltage ratings are required without the size and cost of higher-voltage systems.

Typical Construction

Cables in this category are manufactured to MV-105 standards and typically include:

• Conductors: Three Class B stranded, annealed copper conductors

• Insulation: EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) with semiconducting layers

• Shielding: Copper tape shield for electrical stress control and EMI reduction

• Armor: Metallic armor for mechanical protection (impact, crush, rodent resistance)

• Jacket: Sunlight-resistant PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) outer jacket

• Ground: Integrated copper grounding conductor

This construction allows use in industrial cable tray systems, underground installations, and utility distribution environments where durability and long service life are critical.
