Mc-Hl Metal-Clad Cable for Hazardous Locations as Defined in UL 2225 Standard 3 Conductor 2/0 4/0AWG EPDM/PVC Power Cable

PRODUCT CONSTRUCTION

Conductor: 6 AWG through 1000 kcmil bare annealed copper per ASTM B3. Compact stranding per ASTM B496. Extruded Strand Shield (ESS): Extruded thermoset semi-conductor stress control layer over the conductor per ICEA S-93-639 and UL 1072.

Insulation: 115 mil Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation per ICEA S-93-639 and UL 1072.

Extruded Insulation Shield (EIS): Thermoset semi-conducting polymeric layer, free stripping from the insulation per ICEA S-93-639 and UL 1072.

Shield: 5 mil annealed bare copper tape with 25% overlap.

Grounding Conductor(s): Three split Class B stranded bare annealed copper ground conductors sized in accordance with UL 1072 and NEC Article 250.

Armor: Impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum alloy sheath per UL 1072 and 1569. Meets grounding requirements of NEC Article 250.

Jacket: Flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), yellow. Low-temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40ºC.

APPLICATIONS

Variable Frequency Drives: 3-conductor CCW armored cables with three symmetrical grounding wires are the preferred wiring method for use with AC motors controlled by pulse-width modulated inverters in VFD applications.

For use in Class I, II and III, Divisions 1 and 2; or Class 1, Zones 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502, 503 and 505. For installation on metal racks, troughs, in raceways and cable trays, or secured to supports not more than six feet apart. For exposed and concealed work in wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded in concrete. For use on feeders and branch circuits in industrial power distribution systems per NEC Articles 328 and 330.

FEATURES

Armor provides impervious barrier to moisture, gas and liquids.

The strand shield, EPR insulation and insulation shield are extruded in one operation.

The EPR insulation system has outstanding corona resistance and high dielectric strength, and it provides electrical stability under stress. Meets cold impact test at -40ºC.
