Okoguard is Okonites trade name for its eth-

ylene propylene based insulation. Okoguard

insulation is heat resistant, mechanically rug-

ged, and exceptionally moisture resistant.

This insulation provides an excellent balance

of properties for a low voltage power cable.

For use in branch circuits up to 600V. Rated

90C wet or dry for use in conduits, under-ground ducts and aerial circuits in accor-

dance with the National Electric Code. It is

applicable for cable tray use on sizes 4/0 and

larger and is sunlight resistant. This con-

struction combines the high dielectric and

flexibility characteristics of EPR and PVC to

resist the hostile oil environments in refinery

use and permits ease of low friction installa-

tion. The jacket is UL rated Oil Resistant II.

Uncoated soft copper per ASTM

B-3. Sizes smaller than #8 are compress

stranded per ASTM B-8. Sizes #8 and larger

are compact stranded per ASTM B-496.

Okoguard (EPR) meets or ex-

ceeds all requirements of ICEA S-95-658,

NEMA WC70 and UL Standard 44.

Okoseal (PVC) meets or exceeds

the requirements of ICEA S-95-658, NEMA

WC70 and UL 1581, Class 43 (90C rated

PVC jacket).

Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. un-

der miscellaneous wire category as

RHW-2/PVC. Sizes 4/0 & larger are also

marked for CT-Use.

Sizes 4/0 AWG and larger pass the Vertical Tray Flame Test requirements of UL

1581 for use in cable tray.

Heat resistance; 90C continuous rat-ing; 130C emergency overload rating;

250C short circuit rating

Rated 90C wet or dry.

Resistant to deformation at high tem-perature.

Stable electrical properties.

Low SIC and power factor.

Low moisture absorption.

Mechanically rugged.

Resistant to weather, most oils, acidsand alkalies.

More flexible, easier to install and termi-

nate than XLPE insulation.

UL Listed.

Constructions also available rated 2kV.

Ampacities are based on Table 310.16 of the National Electrical Code for

these 90C rated conductors at an ambient temperature of 30C. The 75Cwet column is provided for additional information.

The ampacities shown apply to open runs of cable, installation in any approvedraceway, direct burial in the earth, or as aerial cable on a messenger. Deratingfor more than three current carrying conductors within a raceway is in accor-dance with NEC Section 310.15.B.2.

Based on three (3) conductors in a single enclosed or exposed conduit. Ca-pacities based on 40C air ambient using ICEA methods. For 30C ambientmultiply values by 1.10; for 50C multiply by .90. For other ambients or installa-tion conditions refer to Engineering Data Book EHB.

For ampacities in cable tray, see NEC Section 392.11.B.
