Product Details
Specifications:
- HW 221 Power Cable
- 8KV UL Type MV-105-LS, 105°C
- Single Conductor, Shielded
- EPR Insulation
- Low Smoke Zero Halogen Jacket
- 133% Insulation Level
- Copper Conductor
Application:
LifeGuard™ Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable is for use in power circuits in chemical plants, refineries, steel mills, industrial plants, commercial buildings, utility substations and generating stations. It may be installed in open air, conduit, duct, cable tray when CT rated, or direct buried in earth, in wet and dry locations. It is highly flame retardant, produces very small amounts of smoke when burned and contains no halogens. LifeGuard™ cable is ideal for applications where a high degree of safety and equipment protection is required.
It is National Electric Code approved for use at 105°C for continuous operation, 140°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.
