Construction
Conductors
- Coated, annealed copper ASTM B-189.
- Concentric stranded, class B ASTM B-8 and UL-44 paragraph 5,1 (An opaque separator is applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping) Grounding conductor (where applicable) uncoated annealed copper class B stranding.
Insulation
- EPR Insul. VW1.
- Thickness per UL-44 table 15.3 and ICEA S-68-516 part 3 table 3-1 column B.
Cabling
- Three and four conductors are assembled round with flame resistant, non-hygroscopic and non-wicking neoprene fillers as needed. A flame resistant, non-hygroscopic and non-wicking tape binder is applied over the assembly. Three conductor cables are cabled with a grounding conductor.
Overall Jacket
- Heavy duty, flame and sunlight resistant black VW1 hypalon® per UL-1277 table 10,1
Color Coding
- Black insulation with ICEA method 4 printed color black.
Scope
- Cables conform to article 318 "cable trays" and article 340 "power and control cables type TC" of the 1981 NEC, subject 1277 of UL, and ICEA S-66-524; and meet the requirements of the 70,000 BTU "cable tray propagation test" per IEEE-383, cables show reserve capabilities by also passing the 210,000 BTU flame test.
Application
- UL listed and OSHA acceptable.Recognized for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and for installation in trays, wireways, troughs, channels, ducts, conduit and aerially where supported by a messenger. Specifically approved for direct burial, wet or dry locations and outdoors in cable trays where a sunlight resistant rating is required. Designed to supply power to motors, or for connections to other power devices.
