Also Known As:

8/3 SOOW Portable Power Cable, 8/3 SOOW, 8/3 SOOW Power Cord, 8/3 SOOW Portable Cord, 8/3 SOOW Service Cord, 8/3 SOOW Service Cable, 8/3 SOOW Cord, 8/3 SOOW Cable, 8/3 SOOW Wire, 8/3 SOOW Flexible Power Cable, 8/3 SO Cord, 8/3 SOOW Control Cable.

Particular Applications Of 8/3 SOOW Cable:

In applications up to 40 amps, the 8/3 cable is used for:

• Single-phase power systems with hot, neutral, and ground conductors

• Portable equipment and tools with higher power needs

• Generators and temporary power distribution setups

• Small motors, pumps, and HVAC systems

• Battery chargers and portable appliances

• Industrial lighting and control circuits

• Outdoor and indoor applications in harsh environments

Construction:

Conductor: 

Stranded, bare, and fully soft annealed copper conductor, Class K per ASTM B174. Suitable for harsh conditions. Three conductors: one hot, one neutral, one ground.

Insulation:

SOOW Cord UL/CSA has an EPDM l insulation. EPDM is an initial for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. EPDM is a synthetic rubber that has the ability to be deformed into the required shape. It is also elastic with an excellent tensile strength of about 1000 PSI (pounds per square inch). Tensile strength gives it good resistance to breaking, even under tension. It has 300% flexibility that enables it to regain its original shape and size after a stretch.

EPDM is a good insulator due to its excellent resistance to severe weather, acids, alkalis, aging, water, ozone, sunlight, and oxygen. This excellent resistance ensures the conductor remains effectively functional throughout its service life with no physical or mechanical distraction.

Jacket:

Carolprene jacket has superior mechanical strength and excellent resistance to abrasion, UV, weather, moisture, oil, acids.
