PGM0649 GR001

Single conductors cables, also known as lead wires, hook-up wires, or jumper wires, are primarily used in commercial and industrial lighting applications, such as machinery, machine control, computer networks, and robotics. PGM0649 GR001 is a particular type of single conductor cable that is designed for an internal grounding system as specified in the National Electric Code (NEC).

Design Specifications

The PGM0649 GR001 single conductor cable is designed with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and is rated for a voltage of up to 600 volts. It is UL listed for both dry and wet locations and is also compliant with Article 329.34 of the NEC, which covers the requirements for single conductors cables. The cable has a temperature rating of up to 80°C, and it is suitable for both direct burial and exposed installations. It is also approved for the use in air-handling spaces.

Applications

The PGM0649 GR001 single conductor cable is used for a variety of applications. It is most commonly used for internal grounding systems, including in industrial lighting fixtures and machine control systems. It is also used for other applications where low-voltage, internal grounding is necessary, such as in communication systems, computer networks, and robotics. It is frequently found in industries like manufacturing, food processing, hospitality, transportation, and medical.

Working Principle

The PGM0649 GR001 single conductor cable is designed to work with an internal grounding system. It is made up of a single conductor, which is insulated with a PVC material. The conductor is then connected to an appropriate grounding point. The design of this cable enables it to effectively reduce electrical shock hazards by diverting and discharging any excess electrical current away from the user and to a safe area.

In addition, the highly conductive nature of the single conductor cable ensures that the electric current that passes through the cable is uniform in order to minimize resistance and heat dissipation. This is especially important for applications involving live wires or sensitive electrical components.

Conclusion

The PGM0649 GR001 single conductor cable is an ideal choice for applications that require an internal grounding system. It is designed to provide an effective and reliable connection between the conductor and the grounding point. It is able to reduce electrical shock hazards, minimize resistance, and improve the performance of a wide range of applications. It is UL listed for both dry and wet locations, and is approved for air-handling spaces.
