• Three (3) split Class B stranded bare annealed copper grounding conductors 
• Sized in accordance with UL 1072 and NEC Article 250

Cable Assembly: 
• Insulated and grounding conductors are cabled together with non-hygroscopic fillers when required 
• Binder tape is applied over the cabled core 

CCW Armor: 
• Impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum alloy sheath per UL 1072 and UL 1569

Jacket: 
• Flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), yellow 
• Low temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40°C 

Applications: 
• Variable Frequency Drives: 3-conductor CCW armored cables with three (3) symmetrical grounding wires are the preferred wiring method for use with AC motors controlled by pulse-width modulated inverters in VFD applications
• CCW armored medium-voltage power cables offer an economical, rugged and reliable alternative to labor-intensive cable in conduit wiring methods 
• For use on feeders and branch circuits in industrial power distribution systems per NEC Articles 328 and 330 
• For use in Class I, II and III, Divisions 1 and 2; and Class I, Zones 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502, 503 and 505 
• Installed on metal racks, troughs, in raceways, in cable trays or secured to supports spaced not more than six feet apart 
• Installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet or dry locations, directly buried or embedded in concrete 
• Recognized for use on fixed or floating offshore petroleum facilities as recommended by the American Petroleum Institute 

Features:  
•CCW armor provides an impervious barrier to moisture, gas and liquids and meets the grounding requirements of UL 1072 and the NEC
• Triple Extrusion: The strand shield, EPR insulation and insulation shield are all extruded in one operation 
• General Cable’s EPR insulation system has outstanding corona resistance and high dielectric strength, and it provides electrical stability under stress
