Product Overview

The MV-90 XLPE Insulated, PVC Jacketed 5kV-35kV Copper Tape Shield Cable is a high-performance medium-voltage power cable designed for industrial, commercial, and utility applications. Combining cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, a copper tape shield, and a robust PVC jacket, this cable delivers superior electrical stability, thermal resistance, and mechanical protection. Compliant with UL, ICEA, and AEIC standards, it is ideal for primary power distribution, feeders, and circuits in demanding environments, including direct burial, duct, and aerial installations.

Key Features:

  • Voltage Rating: 5kV–35kV (100% and 133% insulation levels).

  • Temperature Ratings: 90°C (normal), 130°C (emergency), 250°C (short circuit).

  • Construction: Copper tape shield for fault current management and EMI protection.

  • Certifications: UL 1072, ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74, AEIC CS8.

Construction Details

  1. Conductor:

    • Copper: Soft annealed, Class B compacted for flexibility and conductivity.

    • Aluminum (Optional): Hard-drawn 1350 alloy for lightweight solutions.

    • Custom Options: Strand-filled or compressed conductors for specialized needs.

  2. Shielding System:

    • Conductor Shield: Semi-conductive XLPE ensures smooth voltage gradient.

    • Insulation: XLPE/TR-XLPE provides excellent thermal endurance and corona resistance.

    • Insulation Shield: XLPE layer prevents electrical stress concentration.

    • Metallic Shield: Copper tape enhances grounding and fault current capacity.

  3. Jacket:

    • PVC: Flame-retardant, UV-resistant, and suitable for harsh outdoor/direct burial use.

    • Configuration Options: Triplex or paralleled arrangements for complex installations.

Applications

  • Industrial Power Distribution: Primary feeders, substations, and generating plants.

  • Commercial Infrastructure: High-rise buildings, data centers, and utility networks.

  • Harsh Environments: Direct burial, wet locations, ducts, and aerial installations (NEC-compliant).

  • Renewable Energy: Wind/solar farm grid connections and substation interlinks.

Compliance & Certifications

  • UL 1072: Medium-voltage power cable standards.

  • ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74: Shielded power cables (5kV–46kV).

  • AEIC CS8: Utility-grade shielded cable specifications.

  • Flame Retardancy: Meets stringent fire safety requirements.

Engineering Advantages

  1. Thermal Performance: XLPE insulation withstands extreme temperatures (250°C short circuit).

  2. Durability: PVC jacket resists UV, chemicals, and abrasion for long-term reliability.

  3. Safety: Copper tape shield ensures NEC-compliant grounding and fault protection.

  4. Flexibility: Compact conductor stranding simplifies installation in tight spaces.
