CONSTRUCTION:
1. Conductor: Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
2. Conductor Shield: Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
3. Insulation: 220 Mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% Insulation Level,
4. Insulation Shield: Stripable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
5. Copper Tape Shield: Helically wrapped 5 mil copper tape with 25% overlap
6. Overall Jacket: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES:

Southwire’s 15KV cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, and where su-
perior 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.
