Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 5KV ARMOR-X^® MC HL are armored cables for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 105°C for normal operation, 140°C for emergency overload, 250°C for short circuit conditions, and -50°C for cold bend. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501, 502, and 503. Suitable for VFD application.

* Ampacities are based on:
* For Duct: Table 310.60(C)(79) Detail 1.
* For Free Air: Table 310.60(C)(71).
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing.
* Sequence Impedance values are based on Rho Earth Resistivity: 100 Ohm-Meter/1000ft.
* Capacitive Reactance is between Phase-to-Shield.
