18 AWG 9C Stranded Bare Copper Unshielded XLPE CPE 600V Substation Control Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 9C Stranded Bare Copper Unshielded XLPE CPE 600V Substation Control Cable: 100 Amps

About:

• This control cable is engineered for use in substation environments and other industrial settings. It combines stranded bare copper conductors with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) jacket. It is unshielded and rated for 600V, offering robust performance in both wet and dry conditions.

Also Known As:

• 600V Substation Control Cable
• XLPE CPE Control Cable
• Substation Control Cable

Application:

• For utility and industrial circuits where a highly moisture-resistant cable is required. Suitable for AC or DC use in wet or dry locations and can be used as aerial cables, installed in conduit or trays or can be directly buried. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated conductors have excellent physical and electrical properties with a high degree of flame-retardancy. The bond that is formed between the copolymer-coated shield and the CPE jacket offers superior oil, chemical and moisture resistance. These cables are manufactured to meet the requirements of the ICEA 70,000 and 210,000 BTU/hr vertical tray flame tests as detailed in ICEA T-29-520 and T-30-520.

Standard:

• UL 1277 for Type TC (Tray Cable)
• UL 83 for Thermoplastic-Insulated Wires and Cables
• IEEE 1202/FT4 for Flame Test
• ICEA S-73-532/NEMA WC57 for Control, Thermocouple Extension, and Instrumentation Cables
• ASTM B3 and B8 for Bare Copper Conductors
• NEC (National Electrical Code) Articles 310 and 725

Construction:

• Conductor: Stranded bare copper
