Specification

Application:

• UL listed and OSHA acceptable. Recognized for use in Class 1 or 2, Division 2 hazardous locations. Suitable for use in cable trays, raceways, ducts and conduits, direct burial or supported by a messenger for use at temperature ratings not exceeding 90°C in wet or dry locations and outdoors where a sunlight resistant rating is required.
• These cables shall conform to (UL) Type TC Power and Control Tray Cables and National Electrical Code Articles 336, 392, 500 and 501. These cables pass the IEEE-383 70,000 BTU flame test, the IEEE 1202/FT4 flame test and the ICEA T-29-520 210,000 BTU flame test. Cables pass a -40°C cold bend test.
• Designed for power distribution, pumps, motors and controls and heavy industrial equipment.

Scope:

• This specification covers the minimum construction requirements for multi-conductor (UL) listed Type TC cable consisting of Class B stranded annealed tinned copper, insulated with cross-linked polyethylene, cabled together with a tinned copper grounding conductor and jacketed overall with a chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) jacket.

Also Known As:

TC Type Control Cable, FR-EPR Control Cable, Control Cable With Ground, 600V Control Cable, 600V CPE Jacket Cable.

Construction:

Conductors: 

Class B annealed tinned copper conforming to ASTM B-33 and B-8.

Insulation:

Flame retardant EPR shall be applied concentrically over each conductor and shall
conform to (UL).

Grounding Conductor:

Class B stranded tinned copper

Cabling:

The applicable number of conductors are cabled together with the grounding conductor and fillers (only as necessary) to form a round core. A clear mylar tape is wrapped over the core.

Overall Jacket:

A black, flame, moisture, oil and sunlight resistant chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) jacket meeting the requirements of UL-1277 Table 11.1 shall be applied concentrically overall. The physical properties of the jacket comply with Table 50.28 of UL-1581. A high strength nylon rip cord shall be placed under the jacket to facilitate stripping of the jacket on cables with jackets of 80 mils or less.
