Prysmian Airguard 10 AWG 4C TC-ER- HL Low Voltage Power Cable 600V

Application:

• Prysmian’s Low Voltage AIRGUARD Power Cables are primarily designed for applications in environments found in heavy industrial and offshore markets. Its rugged polymeric AIR BAG armor and chemical barrier protection package makes it the ideal cable choice for tough harsh environmental conditions.
• AIRGUARD provides the solution to the deficiencies often encountered with MC-HL cables including armor breakage encountered during installation and in applications requiring recurring bending after installation (as is typical during scheduled maintenance and calibration of controls and instrumentation), as well as poor performance in areas of high vibration (e.g. motor connections). AIRGUARD also provides a safer alternative to MC-HL due to its "No Knife/No Saw preparation. Installation cost is reduced as bulky, expensive metallic armor grounding glands are not required.

Strippability:

No Knife!? No Saw? No Problem! The ability to strip a cable quickly without damaging the phase conductors is critical in reducing installation costs. The combination of Low Voltage AIRGUARD’S unique design and strategically placed rip cords allows it to be stripped up to three times faster than Metal Clad cables without the worry of nicked or damaged phase conductors. Low Voltage AIRGUARD cables do not require the use of a saw (as in the case of CCW cables) which results in increased personnel safety and reduces the potential for damage to the underlying core.

Chemical Resistance:

Industrial plants require cable that will stand up to corrosive chemicals and hydrocarbons. Whether installing in a direct burial application, in tray, or in the air, Low Voltage AIRGUARD’s proprietary polymeric layer provides the best protection in the market for the broadest range of chemicals.

Mechanical Resistance:

AIRGUARD is known for its mechanical strength. When Prysmian’s R&D engineers were designing Prysmian’s new Low Voltage AIRGUARD it was imperative that the traditional toughness of the prior medium voltage designs be passed on to the Low Voltage AIRGUARD. In crush and impact testing, it is proven to be significantly stronger than metallic armored cables.

Flame:

Not propagating a fire is a critical design parameter of any cable for the industrial market. Low voltage AIRGUARD passes all the industry standard flame tests, including IEEE 1202, FT-4 and IEEE 383 210,000 BTU flame test.

Product Range:

 Low Voltage AIRGUARD is available in 600V Power, Control & Instrumentation, from #16 AWG to 1000 kcmil. Standard stocked items include instrumentation cables, control cables to 37/C, and power cables to 3/C 750 kcmil.
