8/5 SOOW Black Portable Power Cable 600V UL CSA

Allowable Ampacity For 8/5 SOOW Portable Black Cord-600V Non UL: 28 Amps

Also Known As:

8/5 SOOW Portable Power Cable, 8/5 SOOW, 8/5 SOOW Power Cord, 8/5 SOOW Portable Cord, 8/5 SOOW Service Cord, 8/5 SOOW Service Cable, 8/5 SOOW Cord, 8/5 SOOW Cable, 8/5 SOOW Wire, 8/5 SOOW Flexible Power Cable, 8/5 SO Cord, 8/5 SOOW Control Cable.

Particular Applications Of 8/5 SOOW Cable:

In applications up to 28 amps, the 8/5 cable is used for:

• Three-phase power systems with neutral and ground

• Multi-circuit portable equipment and power tools

• Temporary power distribution with complex wiring needs

• Generators and mobile power setups

• HVAC systems, pumps, and small motors

• Control circuits requiring multiple conductors

• Industrial and outdoor environments with demanding conditions

Construction:

Conductor: 

Stranded, bare, and fully soft annealed copper conductor, Class K per ASTM B174. Suitable for harsh conditions.

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.
