(a)Single conductors mounted on insulators in free air in indoor
or outdoor locations.
(b)Random lay singles in metal conduit or triplexed singles in
nonmetallic conduit, above grade, in dry locations.
(c)Single conductors or triplexed singles, aerially, field-spun to
grounded mesnger in dry, damp or wet locations.
(d)Triplexed singles in trays, in spaced block supports or in
mesnger suppported rings, indoors above grade in dry locations.

Specification
ROME-EPR PVC POWER CABLE, 5000 VOLTS
Single Conductor, Nonshielded, Jacketed
MV-90 Dry
1.SCOPE
1.1This specification describes single conductor Rome-EPR insulated, PVC jacketed nonshielded power cable for u in
circuits not exceeding 5000 volts pha to pha at conductor temperatures of 90o C continuous normal operation, 130o C for emergency overload conditions and 250o C for short circuit conditions. Cables are intended for u as Type MV-90 Dry in applications meeting the requirements of Article 310.6 of the National Electrical Code. For other applications, they are
intended for u as nonshielded power cables rated 5000 volts 100% insulation level or 3000 volts 133% insulation level.
2.STANDARDS
2.1The following standards shall form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein:
2.1.1 Underwriters Laboratories Standard 1072 for Medium-Voltage Solid-Dielectric Cable.
2.1.2 ICEA Pub. No. S-96-659 and NEMA Pub. No. WC71 for Nonshielded Cables Rated 2001-5000 Volts.
3.CONDUCTORS
3.1Class B stranded annealed uncoated copper per Part 2 of ICEA.
4.CONDUCTOR SHIELDING
4.1The conductor shall be covered with a layer of miconducting tape completely covering the conductor and firmly bonded to
the cable insulation. The conductor shield shall meet the requirements of Part 3 of ICEA.
5.INSULATION
5.1Directly over the conductor shield shall be applied a homogeneous wall of Rome-EPR insulation. The average thickness of
the insulation shall be 90 mils per Table 4-2, Type E-2 of ICEA and Table 310.63 of the National Elect
rical Code. Minimum thickness at any point shall be not less than 90% of the specified thickness. Physical and electrical properties of the
insulation shall be in accordance with Table 4-5, Type E-2 of ICEA.
6.JACKET
6.1A PVC jacket shall be applied directly over the insulation. The jacket shall meet the requirements of Table 5-1 of ICEA
for Polyvinyl Chloride. The average thickness of the jacket shall be as specified in Table 4-2 of ICEA and Table 310.63 of the National Electrical Code. The minimum thickness at any point shall be not less than 80% of the specified thickness.
7.IDENTIFICATION
7.1All cable shall be identified by means of surface ink printing indicating manufacturer, size, insulation type, voltage rating,
and UL designations.
8.TESTS
8.1Cable shall be tested in accordance with ICEA S-96-659 and UL Standard 1072.
