4、stoon cables witha non-integral jacket. These cables are for use in crane and hoist electrification systems as described inArticle 610 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70.CONSTRUCTION2 Conductors2.1 The cable shall contain one or more identical insulated 18 4/0

5、AWG copper conductors consistingof strands no larger that 24 AWG. The conductors in a round multiple-conductor cable shall be twistedtogether.3 Insulation3.1 Each conductor shall be covered with insulation of a material applicable for 600 volts and a maximumdry temperature rating of 60, 75, 90, or 1

6、05C. For outdoor cable, the insulation shall also be applicablefor a maximum wet temperature rating of 60, 75, or 90C. The average and point thicknesses of theinsulation shall not be less than indicated in Table 3.1.Table 3.1Thicknesses of insulation and overall non-integral jacketAWG size ofconduct
