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

Phase Identification: Color-coded polymeric identification tape laid under the shield - black, red and blue

Grounding Conductor:
• Class B stranded bare annealed copper grounding conductor
• Sized in accordance with UL 1072 and NEC Article 250

Cable Assembly:
• Insulated and grounding conductors are cabled together with nonhygroscopic fillers when required
• Binder tape is applied over the cabled core

CCW Armor:
• Impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum alloy sheath per UL 1072 and UL 1569
• CCW armor conductivity meets the grounding requirements of the NEC

Jacket:
• Flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride(PVC) per UL 1072, orange
• Low temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40°C

Applications:
• CCW armored medium-voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods
• For use on feeders and branch circuits in industrial power distribution systems per NEC Articles 328 and 330
• 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, 503 and 505
