This is a 300V cable that is often applied for medium duty in places where flexibility and durability are needed. The Type SJOOW cable has been found fit for use by and listed by the Underwriters Laboratories and certified by CSA.
1. What does SJOOW mean? It simply stands for a Service cord used for junior service with 300 volts ratings with oil resistant insulation and jacket as well as weather and water resistant.
S = Service or Hard Service Cord J = Junior Service Cord rated at 300 Volts OO = Oil Resistant Insulation and an Oil Resistant outside Jacket W = Weather and Water Resistance
2. Is SJOOW sunlight resistant? Yes, it is. This is because of the CPE jacketing.
3. Can we bury SJOOW Cable? No. SJOOW is not for direct burial applications.
4. What is the difference between STO and SJOOW? The major difference between the two is that STO is rated 600v and SJOOW is rated 300V.
Features: • Moisture and oil resistant • Excellent tensile strength • Durable • Temperatures of -40°C to 105°C • 300 volts • UL listed • CSA certified
Construction: The construction of the SJOOW portable cord makes it to have outstanding features. The multi-conductor cable has its conductors made of stranded Class K copper conductors. The stranding makes the cable to be flexible enough during applications. The copper conductor is protected by EPDM insulation. EPDM is known for its high resistance to oil, heat and moisture.
The copper conductors are also cabled with wax paper fillers and come with a tissue paper wrapped around them to act as separators. This helps a lot in stripping the 300v cable. The insulation and conductors are wrapped together in a CPE jacket. This jacketing makes the cable to be resistant to UV, abrasion, oil, water and chemicals. With these features in place, the cable can operate even in very harsh environments.
Applications: The SJOOW power cord is generally for medium duty applications requiring 300 volts power supply. It is used for Class 1 Division 1 usage with the right connectors rated 300 volts. It is used in places with temperatures between -40°C to 105°C. it can be used for extra hard applications in;
• Welding leads • Industrial equipment • Battery chargers • Marine dockside power • Heavy tools • Power extensions • Portable lights • Mining • Marine dockside power • Push button remote control systems • Stage equipment • Lighting and industrial control • Motor controls
