ISOLATED GROUND TYPE MC LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM INTERLOCKED ARMOR ARMORLITE COPPER CONDUCTOR 600V

Isolated ground Type MC lightweight aluminum interlocked armor Armorlite copper conductor 600v

Type THHN Soft-drawn copper is the conductor material used in the Type MC lightweight aluminum Cable. Copper metal is ductile and therefore can be drawn into a wire. It has goodcurrent conduction property.

These conductors are available in two sizes; 12AWG and 10AWG. Grounding conductors are also available in solid green and green yellow-stripped insulators. These multiple conductors are bonded together and wrapped in a binding tape. A lightweight aluminum armor is interlocked round the cable assembly for uttermost protection against harsh environmental elements that would adversely affect the cable’s functionality. This conductor carries electricity with a voltage of up to 600V and works well within a temperature range of up to 900C.

• Insulation

There is need for insulating the conductors since Type MC lightweight aluminum armor cable carries electricity of high voltage which can easily electrocute a handler. The insulation material used for this cable is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). PVC is a synthetic polymer which is an electric resistor and very tough. It is abrasion proof, weather and UV resistant, some of the properties that give it a long lifespan and easy workability. It is also very flexible therefore very supple and easily folded/unfoldedfor transport and installation.
