(1) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.60(C)(75) of the NEC for three conductor copper cable in isolated conduit in air based on a conductor temperature of 90˚C (194˚F) or 105˚C (221˚F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient air temperature of 40˚C (104˚F). (2) Ampacities are in accordance with Table 310.60(C)(79) of the NEC for three conductor copper cable in underground ducts (three conductors per duct), based on a conductor temperature of 90˚C (194˚F) or 105˚C (221˚F), temperature denoted in column header, and an ambient earth temperature of 20˚C (68˚F), electrical duct arrangement per Figure 310.60 Detail 1, 100% load factor, and earth thermal resistance (rho) of 90. (3) Ampacities are based on three conductor Type MV-105 cables in single layer in an uncovered tray with maintained spacing of not less than one cable diameter between cables, in accordance with Section 392.80(B)(1) of the NEC at an ambient air temperature of 40°C (104°F); the ampacities are per Table 310.60(C)(71), operating temperature denoted in column header. For cable trays with unventilated covers for more than 6 feet, the ampacities shall not exceed 95% of the values in NEC Table 310.60(C)(75). Note: a) All sizes are “FOR CT USE”. b) The NESC Lightning bolt symbol is on all Uniblend® constructions. 2449 3438 3968 5009 6793 9833 12601 1397 1723 2249 3021 3645 5116 5904 7454 10065 14633 18753 460 616 860 1290 10070 CONDUIT IN AIR (1) INCHES mm INCHES mm LBS/1000 FT kg/km LBS/1000 FT kg/km 90˚C 105˚C 685 83 92 917 105 120 1279 145 165 1919 195 215 1556 2315 220 245 2344 2759 3713 5191 7629 3488 290 320 4105 315 350 5525 385 430 7724 470 525 11352 570 635 14985 650 725 Features (cont'd.): • High dielectric strength • Low moisture absorption • Electrical stability under stress • Low dielectric loss • Chemical-resistant • Meets cold bend test at -35˚C • 105°C rating for continuous operation • 140°C rating for emergency overload conditions • 250°C rating for short circuit conditions Compliances: • National Electrical Code (NEC) • UL 1072 • ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC74 • ICEA S-97-682 • AEIC CS8 • UL listed as Type MV-105 for use in accordance with NEC, UL File # E90501 • UL 1685 (70,000 BTU/hr) • EPA 40 CFR, Part 261 for leachable lead content per TCLP method • OSHA Acceptable • RoHS Compliant Optional Flame Tests: • IEEE 1202 (70,000 BTU/hr)/CSA FT4 Packaging: • Material cut to length and shipped on non-returnable wood reels.
