195 Industrial Cables NEC and CSA Designations CSA WIRE TYPE DESCRIPTION AC-90 600 Volt XLPE Insulation, Aluminum or Steel Interlocked Armored Cable ACIC 300 or 600 Volt Armored Instrument and Control Cable. A CSA-type designation used to describe Armored Instrumentation and Control Cable. Available in either 300 Volt or 600 Volt with thermoset or thermoplastic insulation, this cable can be supplied with an overall shield, shielded pairs, shielded triads or unshielded in multi-conductor constructions from 2 to 72 conductors. The overall interlocked armor and PVC jacket provide a (-40ºC), HL, FT4 product (CSA Standard C22.2 No. 239). ACWU90 (-40ºC) 600 Volt XLPE Insulation, Aluminum or Steel Interlocked Armored Cable with PVC Jacket HL (Hazardous Locations) Designation for Hazardous Locations (CSA Standard C22.2 No. 174) NMD90 300 Volt Non-Metallic Sheath Cable with XLPE or PVC/Nylon Insulation NMWU 300 Volt Non-Metallic Sheath Cable with PVC Insulation RA90 (-40ºC) 600 and 5000 Volt Single and Multiple Conductor with Seamless Corrugated Aluminum Armor. A CSA-type designation for single-conductor or multi-conductor constructions similar to AC90 and ACWU90, except no bonding (grounding) conductor is required in the cable assembly. Also, the armor is a corrugated aluminum sheath, which serves as a bonding (grounding) conductor. The overall PVC covering on RA90 is required for wet or direct burial applications (CSA Standard C22.2 No. 123).
