VERTITECK TECK90 500MCM 3C 90 Mils TRXLPE PVC GSIA PVC Power Unshielded Armored 5kV CSA

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 ??® flameretardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), orange 

Options: Galvanized Steel Interlocked Armor (GSIA) 

Applications: 
• For exposed and concealed wiring in dry, damp or wet locations 
• For use in ventilated, non-ventilated and laddertype cable trays in dry, damp, or wet locations 
• For direct earth burial (with protection as required by 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 to provide a solidly locked construction. This feature enables the cable to be self-supporting (core will not slip) during vertical installation when cable 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 

Compliances: 
Industry Compliances:  CSA Standard C22.2 No. 131 and No. 174 

Flame Test Compliances:
