Product description

Part Numbers

17497.055100, 17497.055200, 17497.055300, 17497.055400, 17497.055600, 17497.056500

 

Product Construction

Conductor: 1/0 AWG thru 500 kcmil bare copper compact strand 

Strand Shield: A thermoset semi-conducting strand shield is extruded over the conductor 

Insulation

  • Tree-Retardant Cross-linked Polyethylene (TRXLPE), Type RW90
  • Color-coded: printed numbers 

Ground (Bonding) Conductor: The conductor consists of one uninsulated stranded bare copper conductor 

Inner Jacket: Lead-free, flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), black 

Armor: Galvanized Steel Interlocked Armor (GSIA) 

Jacket: Lead-free, ACID-FLAME-CHECK √√® AG14 flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), orange 

 

Applications

  • For exposed and concealed wiring in dry, damp or wet locations
  • For use in ventilated, non-ventilated and ladder-type cable trays in dry, damp, or wet locations
  • For direct earth burial (with protection as required by the inspection authority)  
  • For wiring in all hazardous locations when used with certified HL cable glands
  • Cost-effective alternative to installation in conduit
  • Typical vertical installations include mine shafts, tall commercial buildings, inclined tunnels and vertical cable trays (Note that the overall jacket is required for all damp and wet locations and for all corrosive environments: CE Code Part 1, Rules 12-708 and 22-200) 

 

Features

  • Rated at 90˚C wet or dry
  • The jacket under the armor (inner jacket) is designed with longitudinal raised ribs. The armor is then applied and bites into these ribs, providing a solidly locked construction. This feature enables the cable to be self-supporting (core will not slip) during vertical installation when the cable's weight is supported by the copper conductors
  • Lighter than mine shaft cable with conventional steel wire armor (SWA)
  • More flexible than SWA cables, resulting in easier handling during installation
  • Terminations and connections to electrical cabinets are similar to standard TECK90 cables
  • Meets cold bend and impact tests at -40˚C

Packaging

  • For Canadian customers, lengths are provided on returnable wood or steel reels that require a deposit. Extra charges apply for lagging, pulling eyes, paralleling and plexing.
  • For U.S. customers, material is cut to length and shipped on non-returnable wood reels, while lengths in excess of 10,000 lbs. are provided on returnable steel reels that require a deposit. Extra charges apply for cuts less than 1000 ft., lagging, pulling eyes, paralleling and plexing.
