ACWU90 Cable 600 V, CSA Type, -40⁰C to +90⁰C NUAL® Brand ACWU90 cable with its interlocked aluminum armour and PVC jacket is designed for direct burial, exposed wet locations or encased in concrete. The outer PVC jacket on ACWU90 makes this durable and rugged cable assembly approved for use in hazardous locations. The distinctive features unique to NUAL Brand ACWU90 cable provide significant savings in installation cost and time. Engineered to replace conduit and wire applications, this all-in-one cable assembly offers fewer installation steps. NUAL Brand ACWU90 cable’s interlocked aluminum armour protects the conductors from damage before, during and after installation and provides overall flexibility not available with a conduit. NUAL Brand ACWU90 is a factory-produced cable assembly consisting of one to four 90°C rated crosslinked polyethylene insulated conductors and one bare bonding conductor inside a flexible, interlocked aluminum armour. Multi-conductor ACWU90 cables are available in sizes 6 AWG to 1500 kcmil. Single-conductor ACWU90 cables are available in sizes from 1 AWG to 1500 kcmil but are not approved for use in hazardous locations. On single-conductor cables, the bonding conductor is applied concentrically around the phase conductor. NUAL Brand ACWU90 cables meet or exceed the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 38 and C22.2 No. 51 and are approved for use in accordance with the recommendations of the Canadian Electrical Code. With its sunlight- and moisture-resistant AG14 PVC jacket, NUAL Brand ACWU90 also meets the requirements of CSA C22.2 No. 174 Hazardous Locations and the FT-4 Vertical Cable Tray Test. ACWU90 Cable 600 V, CSA Type, -40⁰C to +90⁰C Product Features: • Maximum Conductivity – Compact aluminum alloy conductors carry twice the current per kilogram as equivalent copper conductors SIZE BOND SIZE (AWG/kcmil) (AWG/kcmil) • Reliable Termination – NUAL Brand conductors terminate safely with industry standard dual-rated aluminum lugs • Exceptional Insulation – The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation is rated for +90°C wet and dry, meets cold bend and cold impact at -40˚C, and offers a higher maximum short-circuit temperature rating than thermoplastic insulation. It is sunlight- and moisture-resistant • Easy to Install – Lightweight for easier lifting and handling, with 25% more flexibility and 40% less springback than copper conductors of equal ampacity • Heavy Metals Free* insulation is RoHS compliant and environmentally sustainable while providing excellent long-term performance • Sequential meter marking Applications: NUAL Brand ACWU90 armoured cable is designed for use in the following applications: • Outdoors (exposed locations) • In wet locations (Type RW90 conductors) • Direct buried • Encased in concrete • Temporary power • As aerial cable on a messenger • Hazardous locations *Denotes compliance to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
