Quick Detail

Parameter Table

Application :

As three- or four-conductor power cables rated 600 volts, 90 deg. C. in dry or wet locations.
Specifically approved for installation in cable trays per Article 340 of the NEC. Type TC cables are permitted for use in Class I Division 2 industrial hazardous locations per NEC. Cables may be installed in free air, raceways or direct burial, in wet or dry locations. All cables when used in accordance with the NEC, meet the requirements of OSHA.
The conductor of the cable may be copper or aluminum or aluminum alloy. The number of cores can be 1, 2, 3, as well as 4 and 5 (4 and 5 are usually low-voltage cables).
The armoring of the cable can be divided into steel wire armoring and steel tape armoring, and the non-magnetic armoring material used in the single-core AC cable.

Construction:

Stranded copper conductors, XLP (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulated, Method 1 - Table E1 or E2 color-coded, or Method 4 phase-identified. Insulated conductors cabled with a stranded copper grounding conductor in one interstice, cable tape, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket, surface printed.

Standards:

Conductors conform to ASTM B-3 & B-8.
Individual conductors conform to UL Standard 44, and are approved as Type XHHW-2.
TC Type Tray Cable per Article 340 of the NEC.
Cables suitable for Sunlight Resistant applications.
Cables designed to pass the IEEE-383 & IEEE-1202 flame tests.
Cables meet requirements of ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70.
