Northern Cables Inc.'s TECK90 is an interlocked armored cable for use in petro-chemical, pulp and paper, and other industrial application environments. TECK90 can be used in open and concealed wiring, direct burial, and in hazardous locations. The insulated conductors are made with cross-linked polyethylene and twisted with an uninsulated ground wire. The twisted core is covered with a PVC jacket, then covered with either interlocked aluminum or galvanized steel, and covered with a PVC jacket over the armour. TECK90 is manufactured to CSA C22.2#131 and CSA C22.2 #174 to allow it to meet the certain CSA tests including; flame test FT4,-40C cold temperature impact test, low acid gas and sunlight resistance. TECK90 is available in 600 and 1000-volt constructions from #14 to #2 AWG. Cables can be manufactured up to 30 conductors. Custom cables are available upon request including composites, vertical riser, and colored jackets.

AC90 is a flexible interlocked aluminum armored cable approved for use in open and concealed wiring in dry locations. All AC90 is CSA approved and manufactured with two, three, or four copper conductors insulated with RW90 cross-linked polyethylene rated at 600 volts from #14 to #2 AWG. The bonding conductor is bare copper. AC90 is a cost effective alternative to conduit wiring. AC90 eliminates the need for conduit, fittings and the labour associated with pulling in wire, threading, and forming conduit. Multiconductor and special construction AC90 can be manufactured.

CUSTOM ARMOR/JACKETS

Northern Cables Inc. provides custom interlocked armor services on other manufactured cores supplied by the customer. The most common materials for armor are aluminum or galvanized steel. Choice of material thickness and grade can vary depending on the physical properties required by the end user. Other materials are available upon request. In addition Northern Cables can provide custom jacketing services on supplied cores including armored cables. These jackets are available in a range of colors with custom printing. Length Marking in meters and feet is also available. PVC jackets are resistant to water and sunlight, meet FT4, have low acid gas, are rated to minus 40C, and are available in a variety of colors. Other thermoplastics are available on request.

Every cable is subjected to the appropriate CSA and UL electrical tests prior to shipping. These extensive Electrical Tests include: dielectric withstand, conductor resistance, insulation resistance, and continuity. Mechanical and physical property tests are also performed on a regular basis. These tests include: crush and impact, armour tension, bending radius, cold impact, armour tightness, tensile and elongation of insulation and jackets, as well as aging of polymeric individuals.
