[pdf] [/pdf] [short] Stage Lighting Entertainment Cable Type SC Applications: Stage Lighting Entertainment Cable Type SC is a temporary power supply cable used in the entertainment industry, such as television, sound stages, concert venues, and outdoor areas. The electrical cable is also often used in portable lighting systems used on movie production sets, theaters, and stages, and as an Entertainment Industry Stage Lighting Cable (EISL). The electrical cable is rated 600 volts and is used in temperatures between -50°C and -105°C. Also Known As: SC Cable, SC Stage Lighting Cable, Entertainment Stage Lighting Cable, Stage Lighting Entertainment Wire Type SC, Stage Lighting Wire, SC Feeder Stage Cable, Entertainment Industry Cable, SC Portable Power Cable, SC Portable Power Cord. Standards: UL Subject 1680 CSA C22.2 No. 96 NEC Article 520, 525 & 530 CEC Part I, Table 11 RoHS MSHA Construction: Conductor: Fully annealed Class K stranded bare copper per ASTM B 174 Insulation: EPDM/CPE insulation resistant to sunlight, water, ozone, abrasion, acids, alkalis, heat, flame, and chemicals.[/short] Type sc stage lighting cable The sc stage lighting cable has been used in the welding industry and has seen the welding industry improve greatly. It is constructed using a SC cable that is normally manufactured with sizes 6 AWG that is through 4/0 AWG conductors of copper. They are bare stranded and fully annealed. The cable has a tape of polyester or paper which acts to separate the jacket from the conductor. The type of sc stage lighting cable is oil resistant. This protects its performance and lifespan. Oil is the most damaging in all chemical exposures of cables as it causes damage in the molecular structure in the cables that are being used in insulating the cables therefore making the cable lower its performance. This feature is therefore importance making the cable highly desirable. The type of sc stage lighting cable is highly flexible making it cope with very tight bending and other physical stress. Flexibility makes the cables be very durable and easy to carry. It is very easy to bend into shape for extended carriage. The type of sc stage lighting cable is water resistant hence making it to avoid any damages that come as a result of contact with moisture. Water makes the cables rust, therefore reducing their life span. This feature therefore enables the cables to have a longer life span while maintaining their strength. In case the cable needs to be continuously submitted in water, there is no worry that its performance can be affected. It also has resistance to solvents, abrasion ozone and ageing. This cable is also made in a way that it can withstand very severe conditions of the environment. It can withstand very high temperatures without reducing its performance. The cable can therefore be used effectively in wide temperature ranges, making it versatile and efficient. The type sc stage lighting cable is also made to withstand acids and alkalines and are not easily corroded. Corrosion by acids and alkaline greatly damages cables and this can make them perform very poorly making them less efficient. This feature therefore ensures the cable is strong and stays for a long time making it of much value. This cable also meets the flame tests and even exceeds. The MSHA and VW-1 tests have been exceeded indicating that this cable is reliable and strong. The cable provides great features including power and lighting portability. This cable has been used mostly in the entertainment industry in several activities including night clubs, theatre, sound systems amount others. The portability of the wire makes it very efficient in the industry, which in most cases involves movement of systems to different locations. As production companies and studios continually strive to acquire cables that are stronger to support their career, they are looking for better products in the market. And so, the engineers are getting more concerned in improving the efficiency and durability of these products to suit the needs of their customers. For welders, this product could be one of the greatest choices.
