Type MC Three Conductor w/Ground Aluminum Armor XHHW-2 600V
Applications
Type MC Cable is primarily used for services, feeders, and branch circuits as specified in the 2011 National Electric Code. Type MC cable with Type XHHW-2 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Used for power and lighting indoors, exposed or concealed, in cable tray where identified for such use; in a raceway, or in dry locations and embedded in plaster or against other masonry. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600V.Construction
Compact stranded AA-8000 series aluminum conductor material per ASTM B800, ASTM B801, ASTM B836, ASTM B901 (Single Input Wire), as applicable. XLPE insulated XHHW-2 conductors are twisted with a bare conductor. A binder tape is wrapped over the conductors with interlocked aluminum tape applied over the assembly. Rated 90°C wet or dry and is flame and sunlight resistant.Specifications
Type MC cable with Type XHHW-2 conductors are manufactured and tested in accordance with the latest revisions of:- UL 44 for Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables
- UL 83 for Thermoplastic-Insulated Wires and Cables
- UL 1479 Standard for Fire Tests of Through-Penetration Firestops.
- UL Classified 1, 2, and 3 Hour Through-Penetration Firestop Systems.
- UL 1569 for Metal-Clad Cables.
- IEEE 1202 - Flame Testing of Cables for Use in Cable Tray, in Industrial and Commercial Occupancies (70,000 BTU/hr).
- ICEA T-29-520 - Vertical Cable Tray Flame Tests (210,000 Btu/hr).
- ICEA S-66-524 and requirements of the National Electric Code
- ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC 70) construction requirements
- Federal Specification J-C-30B
Color Code
Three Phase Conductors (3): Black, red, white
Ground Conductor (1): Bare
Other colors and stripes available by special order.
For Special Order- The entire assembly can be covered with a PVC or CPE outer jacket (black or color). Jacketed MC Cable may be used in wet locations, either direct burial, in underground conduit, or overhead.
- Halogen free jackets are available upon request
- A black jacket (on individual conductors) with color stripes can be requested.
- Bare Ground conductor available upon request.
- For sizes not listed above please contact sales.
