HW 290 Listed CIR® Control Cable Multi-Conductor + Ground 0.6/kV 90°C Gexol® Insulation

Product Description:

This cable consists of multiple soft annealed flexible stranded conductors and a ground conductor that are all individually insulated.  The conductors are made of tinned copper, which offers extremely high electrical and mechanical integrity.  The tin plating on the copper conductors enhances the wire’s lifespan by up to ten times that of a bare copper conductor.  The Gexol® insulation is a polyolefin material that is designed to protect the conductors from a long list of corrosive elements including fire, oil and vapors.  The insulation also protects the conductors from abrasion and sunlight.  The cable is capable of carrying an ampacity of up to 600V.

Applications:

This product is built to be able to withstand Earth’s most unforgiving environments.  The cable is approved for use in hazardous locations per Underwriters Laboratories standard 2225.  The Gexol insulation allows the cable to function in temperatures as low as -75°C and up to 90°C.  Its flexible mechanical properties make it a great alternative to Type MC.  The cable’s brittle point, which passes standards set forth by the American Society of Testing and Materials, allows the cable to function in arctic conditions.  The cable also meets Underwriters Laboratories requirements of standard 1309, deeming it acceptable for installation within marine vessels and offshore structures.  

Specifications:

• In accordance with specifications set forth by Underwriters Laboratories, this product meets or exceeds standard 1277 and 2225.  These standards require the conductors to meet necessary criteria so they can be approved for use in hazardous locations. 
• This cable is rated TC-ER by Underwriters Laboratories.  This classification deems the cable safe for installation in cable tray as well as without cable tray.
• This cable is rated TC-ER-HL by Underwriters Laboratories.  In accordance with 336.10(7) and 505.15(B)(1)(i) and as permitted in 501.10(A)(2) of the NEC, the cable is safe for use in exposed runs between utilization equipment and a cable tray.  It can also be used where the cable is protected against physical damage using channel, struts, or angles.

Construction:

• Conductors

–                This product employs tinned copper conductors.  Copper is the one of the strongest conductive metals on Earth, second only to silver.  The conductors are soft annealed and are very flexible. 

• Ground conductor

–                The ground conductor supports the phase conductors to ensure steady conductivity for the life of the cable.  The ground wire is flexible stranded, soft annealed, and wears the same insulation as the phase conductors. 

• Insulation

–                Each individual conductor is coated in a Gexol® cross-linked polyolefin insulation.  The insulation is a durable material that protects the conductors from fire and other hazardous elements.

• Jacket

–                The outer jacket is a flame retardant, black, thermoset material.  The outer jacket serves as the first line of defense against chemical and sunlight damage as well as corrosion caused by water vapors, oil, and abrasion.
