15kV 133% I.L. Copper Primary UD Cable – Enhanced Dielectric Strength for Critical Power Distribution
This 15kV primary underground distribution cable provides enhanced dielectric protection with 220 mils of EPR insulation at 133% insulation level, offering a safety margin that standard 100% cables cannot match. The stranded copper conductor efficiently transmits power over long distances with minimal line losses, while the concentric neutral ensures proper grounding and fault current management. UL1072 certified and MV-90 rated for continuous 90°C operation, this cable is designed for critical power infrastructure where reliability is paramount. The rugged LLDPE jacket with three red stripes provides excellent resistance to moisture, abrasion, and environmental stress, making it ideal for underground duct and direct burial installations in industrial plants and utility substations.
Single Core MV90 Cable
These single-core MV-90 primary underground distribution cables are engineered for reliable medium voltage power transmission across 15kV, 25kV, and 35kV applications. Featuring stranded copper conductors, EPR insulation, concentric neutral, and a rugged LLDPE jacket with three red stripes, they deliver dependable performance in underground duct and direct burial installations. UL1072 certified with 100% and 133% insulation levels, they are rated for continuous 90°C operation with 105°C emergency overload capability, making them ideal for industrial plant feeders, utility substations, and power generation facilities. The LLDPE jacket provides excellent resistance to moisture, abrasion, and environmental stress for decades of reliable service.

Advantages of 15kV MV-90 133% I.L. 220 mils cable
The 133% insulation level with 220 mils thickness provides extra dielectric strength against voltage surges, switching transients, and lightning strikes that would stress standard 100% insulated cables. The stranded copper conductor delivers superior conductivity with low resistance, reducing voltage drop and energy losses over extended feeder runs. The rugged LLDPE jacket ensures long-term protection against moisture ingress, chemical exposure, and mechanical damage in underground installations. This enhanced insulation design makes the cable the preferred choice for critical 15kV power distribution systems where reliability is essential.

What are people saying about us
Our customers have consistently shared positive feedback about our cables and services. Here’s what they say about US:
Luis Fernando Pérez - Venezuela - Office Building Project
The wires are of very good quality. The cables need to pass through long pipes and corners, and the cables are very flexible. We also ordered fire-resistant wires, which have been tested by a testing agency and found to be without problems.
Thomas Baker - USA - Factory construction
GERITEL WIRE's engineering team was very professional. They offered suggestions based on our cable requirements, and we found more suitable cable models. Subsequent operation has been stable without any problems.
Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican - Hotel Project
Due to the tight schedule of the hotel project, we had to adjust the usage quantity several times. GERITEL WIRE supplier was very flexible in terms of delivery and packaging, with fast delivery times. The wire reels were clearly labeled, making on-site counting and distribution very convenient.
