Applications

  • Variable Frequency Drives: 3-conductor CCW armored cables with three (3) symmetrical grounding wires are the preferred wiring method for use with AC motors controlled by pulse-width modulated Inverters in VFD applications
  • CCW armored cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
  • For use in Class I, II and III, Divisions 1 and 2; and Class I, Zones 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503
  • For use as services, feeders and branch circuits for power, lighting, control, and signal circuits in accordance with NEC Articles 330 and 725
  • Installed indoors or outdoors, wet or dry locations, directly buried, embedded in concrete, in a raceway, as aerial cable on a messenger, in cable trays, or as exposed runs secured to supports in accordance with NEC Article 330
  • Recognized for use on fixed or floating offshore petroleum facilities as recommended by the American Petroleum Institute 

 

Features
