SPEC 22051
NMD90 Aluminum SIMpull® Romex® Brand
300 Volts / -25ºC Min, 90ºC Max. Aluminum Conductors
Construction:
- Conductor:Compact stranded 8000 series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B801 or ASTM B836
- Insulation:All phases are insulated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) with Nylon Sheath. Colors: Black, Red, White
- Ground:Compact stranded 8000 series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B801 or ASTM B836
- Jacket:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket utilizing SIMpull® Technology.
Applications and Features:
Southwire's Romex® SIMpull® NMD90 cables may be used for both exposed work in dry locations or concealed work in dry or damp locations.
The maximum allowable conductor temperature is 90°C. The minimum recommended installation temperature is -25°C for two-conductor cables and -10°C for three-conductor cables (with suitable handling procedures). Material should be properly stored above 0°C for 24 hours prior to installation. The maximum voltage rating for all intended applications is 300 volts. Consult the Canadian Electrical Code for further information related to applications.
