Medium Voltage Cable: 3/0_AWG
Medium-voltage cable ampacity and physical properties for copper XLPE-insulated cables. Covers MV-90 (90C) and MV-105 (105C) rated cables, 5kV through 35kV class, conductor sizes 1/0 AWG through 1000 kcmil. Ampacity in duct/conduit and direct buried per NEC Table 310.60 / Article 311. Includes insulation thickness, overall diameter, weight, and DC resistance.
