CU Compressed 2.4kV XLPE Insulation.
Type MV-90 Dry Single Conductor Copper, Non-Shielded Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). Silicone Free
Application
Southwire’s 2.4KV XLPE cables are suited for use in dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Rated at -35°C for cold bend when UL listed. Rated at -25°C for cold bend and cold impact and marked with "LTDD" when CSA listed or dual UL/CSA listed. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure. Silicone Free.

* NEC ampacities are based on:
* For Duct: Table 310.60(C)(11) Detail 1.
* For Free Air: Table 310.60(C)(3).
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
