23、PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover round or at metal-clad cables that contain 18 AWG 2000 kcmil insulated circuit conductors with or without one or more optical-ber members, all enclosed in armor consisting of interlocked metal str
24、ip or a smooth or corrugated metal tube. Round cables contain one or more insulated circuit conductors. Flat cable contains two or three insulated circuit conductors. These electrical and hybrid electrical/optical-ber cables are for use (optical and electrical functions associated in the case of a h
25、ybrid cable) as Type MC cable in accordance with Article 330 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 These requirements cover round or at armored cables that have thermoplastic or thermoset insulation and are for use at potentials not exceeding 600 V (thermoplastic)
26、or 600 or 2000 V (thermoset) where subjected to temperatures not exceeding 75C (167F) or 90C (194F), depending upon the voltage and temperature ratings of the circuit conductors in the cable. Cables with 600 V conductors that also include one or more optical-ber members have -OF supplementing the ty
27、pe letters and are limited to carrying optical energy that has been ruled not hazardous to the human body. 1.3 Type MV (medium-voltage) cables rated for 2400 35000 V are covered in separate requirements. A multiple-conductor Type MV cable with a smooth (other than lead) or corrugated metal sheath or
28、 with interlocked metal armor may be marked for use also as Type MC cable. 1.4 These requirements do not cover Type AC armored cables (see the Standard for Armored Cables, UL 4). Metal-clad cables for use in Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations are required to comply with this Standard and the
29、Standard for Metal-Clad Cables and Cable-Sealing Fittings for Use in Hazardous (Classied) Locations, UL 2225. 1.5 These requirements do not cover the optical or other performance of any optical-ber member or group of such members. See 8.3. 1.6 A cable to which the designation ST1 (signifying limited
30、 smoke ) is applied as a type-letter suffix, complies with the test criteria for smoke release and for cable damage height stated in the Standard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685. See Section 30, Vertical-Tray Fire and Smoke R

34、 for use in wet locations if the cable has armor consisting of interlocked metal strip but does not include a jacket over the assembly under the armor: a) Cable that is marked for direct burial; and b) Cable that is intended for use in wet locations. 5 Materials 5.1 Only materials that are acceptabl
35、e for the particular use shall be employed in a cable. 6 Conductors 6.1 General 6.1.1 Only copper, nickel-base alloy, copper-clad aluminum, or an acceptable aluminum alloy shall be used for the conductors in a cable. Soft-annealed copper shall comply with the Standard Specication for Soft or Anneale
36、d Copper Wire, ASTM B 3. Solid aluminum conductors in size 12 8 AWG shall comply with the requirements for aluminum-wire stock (aluminum-alloy conductor material).

37、ements for Aluminum Conductors of an 8000 Series Alloy of the Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords, UL 1581. Copper-clad aluminum conductors shall comply with the requirements in Section 11, Requirements for Copper-Clad Aluminum Conductors of UL 1581. In a given cable, all condu
38、ctors are not required to be of the same metal. Nickel-base alloy shall comply with the Standard for Fixture Wire, UL 66. 6.1.2 A copper conductor shall not be smaller than 18 AWG and shall not be larger than 2000 kcmil. A nickel-base alloy conductor shall not be smaller than 18 AWG and shall not be
39、 larger than 16 AWG. An aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductor shall not be smaller than 12 AWG and shall not be larger than 2000 kcmil.

40、 Each 6 AWG 2000 kcmil conductor shall be stranded. Copper conductors which are 18 or 16 AWG shall comply with the requirements for xture wire conductors in the Standard for Fixture Wire, UL 66. The 14 AWG and larger copper, or 12 AWG and larger aluminum conductors shall comply with the requirements
41、 in 4.1, Conductors of the Standard for Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables, UL 44, or in 4.1, Conductors of the Standard for Thermoplastic-Insulated Wires and Cables, UL 83, except as modied in this Section. 6.1.4 Any joint in a conductor shall comply with the applicable Standard indicated in 7.2.
42、1, except that a splice is acceptable in an 18 8 AWG stranded conductor as a whole if the splice (butt splice) is made by machine brazing or welding such that the resulting solid section of the stranded conductor is not longer than 1/2 inch (13 mm), the splice does not increase the diameter of the c
43、onductor, there are no sharp points, and the distance between splices in a single conductor does not average less than 3000 ft (915 m) in any reel length of that single insulated conductor. A butt splice shall be made before insulating or after insulating and prior to further processing. Butt splice
44、s of stranded conductors made after insulating and splices of insulated solid conductors made with other than the original insulation shall be the subject of an investigation that includes tests to determine that all electrical, physical, and mechanical properties of the original system of insulatio
45、n and any jacket on the conductor have been restored at the point of each splice. All nished, insulated stranded conductors containing a butt splice or splice made with other than the original insulation shall not be marked as an NEC type but the following are acceptable: a) Polarity Identication Co
