| Presentation: |
Low Voltage Cable Presentation; This presentation will discuss low voltage (600V rated) cables. Table 310.16 of the 2008 National Electric Code will be reviewed and dissected re: ampacities, insulation types, temperatures and deratings. Cable type selection will be discussed including application and location, insulations (THHN and XHHW), temperature ratings (wet and dry) and armored cables (CCW and IAC). We will address cable testing standards and what they mean. The purpose of the presentation is to gain a better understanding of how to define these types of cables for projects.
