Multiple Conductor Cables

Multiple conductor cables are used for different types of applications. They are available in a variety of configurations and an array of sizes, each selection being tailored to meet specific requirements and performance criteria. One of the most popular categories within multiple conductor cables is the FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type, which is designed for use in the toughest industrial and hazardous environments. This article will explain the application field and working principle of this type of cable.

Application Field

The FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of multiple conductor cable is often used in hostile environments and hazardous locations such industrial, mining, and construction sites. The FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of cable is designed and certified for use in hazardous locations due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures, chemical exposures, radiation, and other extreme conditions. It is UL listed for use in Class 1 Division 1 and 2, Groups A, B, C, and D hazardous locations. In addition, the jacketed version of this type of cable is designed to protect the cable from hazardous environments, such as those with intense UV exposure.

This type of multiple conductor cable is also suitable applications where flexibility, durability, and protection from moisture, abrasion, and oil is required. Another typical application is in large portable arc or resistance welders, which require cables that can withstand the high temperatures (up to 219.47°C), very high amperage, and radiation from an open arc. The superior strength and insulation characteristics of the FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of multiple conductor cable allows it to meet these challenging requirements.

Working Principle

This type of multiple conductor cable consists of three insulated conductors surrounded by an oil-resistant, abrasion resistant, and flame retardant jacket. The conductor is made with an annealed copper cable that resists moisture and abrasion. It is also designed to provide excellent temperature direct and indirect heat profiles. The insulation is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound, which provides extra protection and strength for the cable.

The jacket of the FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of multiple conductor cable is designed for superior flexibility and strength. It is flame-retardant per UL, CSA, and MSHA standards, and can be used in temperatures up to 105°C. The jacket helps to protect the cable from cuts, abrasions, radiation, chemical exposure, and other potential environmental hazards.

The FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of multiple conductor cable is designed for extremely demanding applications and hazardous locations. Its annealed copper conductor, PVC insulation, and strong, flame-retardant jacket work together to provide a robust cable that can withstand numerous types of harsh environments. Whether it is used in industrial, mining, or construction applications, this type of multiple conductor cable will provide reliable performance in the most extreme of conditions.

Conclusion

The FLDWC1321-20-9/90-9 type of multiple conductor cable is an essential choice of cable for hazardous locations and tough industrial applications where superior performance and durability is required. Its flame-retardant jacket and annealed copper conductors provide durable protection, while its PVC insulation ensures that it can withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and other hazardous environmental conditions.
