APPLICATIONS
Southwire's Type TC Power Cable is used to supply power to motors, or for connection to other power devices in industrial
settings. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways, and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger wire.
Type TC Power Cable is listed for direct burial or in underground ducts and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations
and Class 1 control circuits. This cable may be used in wet and dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90. 6 and 8 AWG
constructions with insulated grounds (standard) and 4 AWG and larger with bare or insulated ground are UL Listed for
exposed runs (ER) per NEC 336.10 °C.

• IEEE 1202 - Flame Testing of Cables for Use in Cable Tray in Industrial and Commercial Occupancies (70,000 Bth/hr).
Southwire's Type TC Power Cable meets and exceeds all construction requirements of ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC 70) -
Nonshielded 0 - 2 kV Cables, with testing frequencies based on UL requirements."
CONSTRUCTION
Southwire's Type TC Power Cable is available in sizes 8 AWG through 750 kcmil and is manufactured using Type XHHW-2
conductors. Individual conductors are bare annealed copper covered with a cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. The
overall jacket consists of a flame retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant PVC jacket. Non-halogen jacket available upon
request.

Note: Ampacities are based on Table 310.16 of the NEC, 2008 Editon. Ampacities are for general use with a 90°C conductor and 30°C ambient temperature as
specified in section 310.15 and in cable trays as specified in section 392.11.
Note: Insulation thicknesses are per UL 44 for XHHW conductors. See XHHW Data Sheet for insulation thickness.
