ApplicationsControl or signal cable for important circuits in industrial plants and station control cable for electric utilities where flame resistance is essential. Suitable for the operation and interconnection of protective devices; rated circuit voltage 600 volts; recommended for operation at 90 ºC maximum continuous conductor temperature in wet or dry locations. Cables may be installed in open air, in ducts or conduits, in tray or trough, and are suitable for direct burial. Utility grade meets or exceeds all UL requirements.
ConstructionStranded coated copper conductors. The insulation shall be either fire retardant ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) or fire retardant cross-linked Polyethylene (FR-XLPE). ICEA Appendix E Method 1 color-coded, conductors twisted with suitable fillers, helically applied copper tape shield, CPE jacket overall, surface printed.
Standards
- TC Type Tray Cable per Article 340 of the NEC.
- Individual conductors pass UL Standard 44 and the VW-1 vertical flame test.
- Individual conductors approved as Type XHHW.
- Cables Pass IEEE-383 ribbon burner flame test.
- Overall jacket approved as Sunlight Resistant.
- Cables meet requirements of ICEA Pub. No. S-73-532/NEMA WC74
Notes
- Cables may be supplied with an insulated ground and marked ""Open Wiring.""
- Standard color coding is Method 1 for NEC applications per Appendix E, Table E-2 of ICEA S-73-532(TECH I006). This color coding method omits white and green from the color sequence. A white or green conductor can be supplied on request.
