[short] Hook Up Lead Wire E-Beam Applications: The lead hook up wire is an electrical wire developed for use in motor engines, military aerospace, industrial machines, and as single or three-phase transformer wiring. The maximum temperature is 125°C for continuous use at 600V. If you are looking where to buy hook up wire as your electrical cable of choice, Nassau National Cable is among the leading lead wire suppliers with a wide hook up wire assortment. Also Known As: Hook up wire, lead wire cable, hook cable, lead cable, lead wire, stranded hookup wire, lead covered wire, electrode lead wires, electrical lead wire, high voltage lead wire, type ul. Standards: Temperature Range/Voltage Rating: UL 758: 150°C/600VAC 750VDC CSA AWM: 150°C/600V CSA CL 1503 Flame Compliances: CSA FT-1 & FT-2 Industry Approvals: UL Standard 758 - Styles 3271/3289/3321/3505 CSA AWM I A/B, CL 1503 Construction Conductors: This lead wire conductor is a tinned copper conductor. The size of the conductor dictates the application and the type of installation the cable will use, as well as its totaling weight; the bigger the conductor the higher the electrical resistivity. Copper has good electrical properties, which improve the voltage distribution of the hook up wire, as it will not succumb to deformations. The cable is also tinned for maximum performance. Tinning reduces friction build up as it makes the surface of the conductors smoother. This offers free strip from the insulation, reducing the termination time during installation. Insulation: The hook up cable has XLPE insulation, which is flexible but very tough, made of a complex chain of molecules forming a sturdy polymer. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures, is resistant to chemicals and UV light deformations, water-tight, and easy to cut. [/short] Hook Up Lead Wire E-Beam Demanding environmental conditions calls for dual serving Hook Up E-Beam Lead Wire, which can perform in both wet and dry locations. This is because it is designed with creep resistant copper conductors which are insulated with cross linked Polyethylene (XLPE) for maximum protection. It is deployed in power lines with a voltage rating of 600 volts at an operational temperature of 150 degrees Celsius. Conductor The copper conductors have approximately 19 or 105 number of strands, improving the flexibility of this cable. They are tinned for good electrical conductivity and to boost the service life of the cable. Tinning involves coating the surfaces of the copper conductors with a thin film of tin. It protects the conductors from corrosive chemicals, increasing the durability of the cable. Flexible copper conductors are not labor intensive as they require less energy to lift and move around. Compliance a) CSA CL 1503 b) CSA FT-1 and FT-2 c) UL Standard 758 Insulation Cross linked polyethylene is a thermoplastic and thermosetting polymer, which can perform in both wet and dry climatic conditions with temperatures not exceeding 105 degrees Celsius without tearing. It measures 0.030 inches thick and mainly keeps the cable safe from the punishing environmental conditions such as flames, moisture, strong sunlight radiations, abrasions or any other deformations. XLPE is color coded for identification. Applications a) Industrial machineries b) Military aerospace c) Motor engines d) Single and three phase transformer wiring
