Cable shall
be Alpha Wire Company Alpha Wire INDUSTRIAL
SERIES - SERIES
P Enhanced High
Performance, Stationary Automotive Control Cable.
Manufactured from finely stranded bare copper conductors in accordance
with ASTM-B-3, conductors shall be insulated with a premium grade
of polyvinylchloride/nylon, which meets the flame test requirements
of UL VW-1. Conductor insulation shall comply with UL Standard 62,
Type TFFN, THHN, Oil Res. I & II as well as CSA AWM I A/B FT-4. Red Insulated
conductors shall be numbered with black print for AC circuits
operating at less than line voltage. Blue insulated conductors shall be numbered with white
print for DC circuit applications at less than line voltage. Black insulated conductors shall be numbered with white print for AC circuits operating at less than line voltage.
One green/yellow insulated grounding conductor and one neutral conductor
shall be included and be found in the outermost layer of the core.
The neutral conductor shall be insulated with a white compound and
red stripe for red core cables and a white/blue stripe for blue
core cable designs and a white/black stripe for black core cable designs..
Jackets shall be of a specially formulated, oil and chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomer
complying with the Standards of UL and CSA as well as being compliant
with the requirements of CE-LVD.
Completed cables shall be in compliance with the following certifying
agencies standards:
- UL
Standard 1277, Type TC-ER - 600 Volt
- Standard
