Draka LMC03008 8 AWG 3C Lifeline MC Bare Stranded Copper Unjacketed Two Hour Fire Resistive Cable

Allowable Ampacity for Draka LMC03008 8 AWG 3C Lifeline MC Bare Stranded Copper Unjacketed Two Hour Fire Resistive Cable: 100 Amps 

Applications:

Lifeline® MC fire resistive cables were designed to meet and have successfully passed the two-hour fire rating certification test per UL 2196, Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables.

Lifeline® MC Cables can be used in the following applications to provide survivability during a fire: - Tall Buildings - Fire Pumps - Emergency Feeder Cables - Ventilating Fans - Stairwell Pressurization - Exit Lighting - Elevators / OEO - Emergency lighting for roadway and transit tunnels when cables include optional LSZH jacket over armor Lifeline® MC Cables are preferred over Mineral Insulated (MI) cables, concrete encasement or the construction of fire rated assemblies based on the facts that Lifeline® MC Cables are less costly and easier to install for many applications. Fire resistive cables are required per NFPA 70/NEC, Articles 517, 695, 700, 708, 728 and 760 as well as NFPA 72 and NFPA 101.
