About:

C-L-X Power Cables are designed for use in industrial and commercial applications where durability, flexibility, and protection from environmental factors are critical. These cables feature a robust construction with multiple layers to ensure reliable performance in various demanding conditions.

Also Known As:

• C-L-X Power Cable
• HL (Hazardous Locations) Power Cable
• RA90 (Residential Aluminum) Power Cable
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Rated Power Cable

Application:

• C-L-X Type RA90 HL cables with an impervious, continuous, corrugated aluminum  sheath are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system.
• C-L-X Type RA90 HL cables may be installed indoors or outdoors, in wet or dry locations, as open runs of cable secured to supports spaced not more than six feet apart, in cable tray, as aerial cable on a messenger, in any approved raceway, direct burial, or encased in concrete.
• They are permitted as a method of separation between unique voltage systems pern Rule 16- 212 of the CEC. C-L-X Type RA90 HL cables are also approved for use in Zone 1, Zone 2, Class II Div 2, Class III Div 1 and Class III Div 2 per CEC.

Standards:

• CSA: Certified by the Canadian Standards Association, ensuring compliance with national safety and performance standards.
• RA90: Meets standards for Residential Aluminum 90°C rated cables.
• HL: Approved for use in hazardous locations, providing added safety measures.
• IEEE: Conforms to relevant standards set by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
• ICEA: Complies with the Insulated Cable Engineers Association specifications.

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated soft copper perASTM B3. Sizes smaller than #8 are compress stranded per ASTM B-8. Sizes #8 and larger are compact stranded perASTM B-496.
• Insulation: X-Olene per ICEA S-95-658/ NEMA WC70 and CSA C22.2 No. 38, Listed CSA Type RW90. Meets MIL-DTL-1377H, section 4.8.4.1.2 cold bend at -66°C and ASTM D746 brittle point at -76°C.
• Conductor Identification: Control Sizes, #9 AWG and smaller, color coded insulation. Power Sizes, #8 AWG and larger, black with printed words of number and color.
• Grounding Conductor(s): One or three bare soft copper per ASTM B-3. Stranded in accordance with ASTM B-496.
• Sheath: Close fitting, impervious, continuous, welded, corrugated aluminum C-L X per CSA C22.2 No. 123.
• Jacket: Black Okoseal (PVC) per CSA C22.2 No. 123. MeetsASTM D746 brittle point at -40°C

Features:

• Passes the IEEE 383-1974 and IEEE 1202/FT4 vertical tray flame tests.
• Passes the 210,000 BTU ICEA T-29-520 Vertical Tray Flame Test.
• Complete pre-packaged, factory-tested wiring system; color coded.
• C-L-X cables are quality control inspected to meet and exceed applicable CSA standards.
• 90°C continuous operating temperature in all types of installations.
• 130°C emergency rating.
• 250°C short circuit rating.
• Good EMI shielding characteristics.
• Impervious, continuous metallic sheath excludes moisture, gasses and liquids.
• Lower installed system cost than conduit or EMT systems.
• Provides excellent grounding safety.
• Excellent compression and impact resistance.
• Continuous long lengths.
• Installation temperature of -40°C.
• Three symmetrical grounding conductors with the CLX sheath provide a superior low resistance return path for VFD and other modern ac drive/motor applications.
• CSA C22.2 No. 123 Type RA90.
• CSA C22.2 No. 174 Type HL.
• CSA listed as FT4 and LTGG (-40°C).
• CSA Type RA90 HL complies with CEC Zone 1, Zone 2, Class II Div 2, Class III Div1 and Class III Div 2 Hazardous Locations.
• CSA C22.2 No. 239 Type ACIC for sizes 4/0 AWG and smaller.
• CSA C22.2 No. 230 Type TC-ER for sizes 1-4/0 AWG.
• CSA C22.2 No. 230 Type TC for sizes smaller than 1 AWG.
