[pdf] [/pdf] ACWU90 Cable Applications: ACWU is a building wire primarily designed for direct burial and the use in hazardous conditions. This multi-purpose wire can be used in dry and wet conditions, both as concealed and exposed wiring. It is also perfect for all types of electrical cable trays, regardless of whether they are ventilated. Other uses include power distribution, branch circuits, and power distribution. The recommended temperatures for installation are between -40 C and 90 C. The electrical cable is rated at 600 v. Also Known As: Canadian Direct Burial Wire, Canadian Direct Earth Wire, ACWU Building Wire, ACWU Cable, ACWU Tray Cable, ACWU. Standards: CSA C22.2 No. 51-95. (R2004) -40 C to +90 C FT4 HL rated for Class I Div 1 & 2 Groups A, B, C & D, Class II Div 1 & 2 Groups E, F & G and Class III Hazardous Locations SUN RES AG14 Construction: Conductors: Multi-conductor ACWU cables have 1 to 4 aluminum conductors with a bare aluminum bonding ground wire. Aluminum conductors are compact or compressed Class B. Insulation: The cables are equipped with a cross-linked RW90 XLPE polyethylene insulation. It is resistant to flow, aging, and high temperatures. The cable has an aluminum Interlocked Armour (AIA). Jacket: The cable has a PVC jacket per FT4 and AG14 standards. It is resistant to flames, moisture, and sunlight. Features: Used for any exposed and concealed wiring in dry or wet locations and where exposed to the weather. Useable in ventilated, non-ventilated and ladder type cable trays in wet and dry locations. Direct earth burial For service entrance above or below ground. For use in hazardous locations with approved connectors. Insulation Colour Code: Black, Red, Blue, White One to four compact aluminum conductors with low temperature cross-linked polyethylene insulation (RW90 XLPE) and bare aluminum bonding (ground) wire in multi conductor cables. Single conductor cables have copper concentric bonding wire. Conductor assembly is wrapped and enclosed in an interlocked aluminum armour with an overall low acid gas, low flame spread, sunlight resistant PVC jacket (LAG/LFS) with FT4 and AG14 rating. #8 and larger are HL rated for Class I Div 1 & 2 Groups A, B, C & D, Class II Div 1 & 2 Groups E, F & G and Class III Hazardous Locations. CSA Spec C22.2 No. 51-95. (R2004) Rated 600V. Minimum recommended installation temperature minus 40°C (with suitable handling procedures). Maximum conductor temperature 90°C.
