Medium Voltage Cable

Medium voltage cable or MV cables, is one of the three categories of cables that is classified based on its voltage capacity. For a medium voltage cable, it is 300 to 1000 Volts. It can be used to refer to a single wire or a multi-conductor cable. For electrical power transmission, medium voltage wire or cable is typically used.

Description of Medium Voltage Cable

Many people may be wondering about the exact differences between medium voltage cable and low voltage cable. To make things a bit clearer, let start with the construction which is perhaps the biggest difference between low- and medium-voltage cables. Most medium-voltage designs offer extra protection to prevent the build-up of potential charges anywhere along the cable.

Application of Medium Voltage Cable

Mobile substation equipment, distribution of power in industrial settings and in mining to supply power to drills, shovels, and haulers, are just some of the common applications of medium-voltage cables. Another common application for medium-voltage cables is in maintenance and repairs. For example, during scheduled downtime maintenance for substations or to conduct repairs due to damage caused by a storm, utility personnel use mobile workstations. In these situations, medium voltage cables come in handy.

Materials for Medium Voltage Cable

Tinned Copper & Oxygen-Free Copper are the two main conductor materials. Copper is used mostly in medium voltage designs, medium-voltage designs are usually constructed as follows:

A tinned copper or 99.95% copper conductor,

A conductor shield—which is usually made of some type of semiconductor material,

Insulation,

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
