Allowable Ampacity for 1 AWG 1C Stranded Bare Copper Tape Shielded Red PVC RG7H1R 1.8/3KV Medium Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable features a single conductor (1C) made of stranded bare copper, which provides flexibility and excellent conductivity. It's shielded with a tape layer for electromagnetic interference protection and encased in a red PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket for durability and insulation. The "1.8/3KV" indicates its voltage rating, suitable for medium-voltage applications up to 3 kilovolts.
