APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES:

Southwire’s 15KV cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, and where
superior 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. For uses in Class I and II, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502.Rated for 1000
lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure.

SPECIFICATIONS:
• ASTM B3 Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire
• ASTM B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors
• UL 1072 Medium-Voltage Power Cables
• UL 1685 Vertical-Tray Fire Propagation and Smoke Release Test
• ICEA S-93-639 (NEMA WC 74) 5-46 KV Shielded Power Cable
• AEIC CS-8 Specification for extruded dielectric shielded power cables rated for 5 through 46KV
