Type TC-ER Power Cable 600Volt Four Conductor Aluminum, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) with nylon layer insulation THHN Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket with 1 Bare AL Ground

Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compact stranded 8000 Series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B836
- Insulation:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) with nylon layer Type THHN/THWN
- Grounding Conductor:Class B compact stranded 8000 Series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B836
- Filler:Paper filler (cable size 8 & 6 uses Polypropylene filler)
- Binder:Polyester flat thread binder tape for cable sizes larger than 2 AWG

Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 600 Volt Type TC-ER power cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 75°C in wet locations and 90°C in dry locations, 105°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10.
