24、ERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL PREFACE This is the harmonized ANCE and UL standard for Metal-Clad Cables. It is the rst edition of NMX-J-726-ANCE, and the fth edition of UL 1569. This edition of UL 1569 supersedes the previous edition publish

25、ed on November 13, 2014. This harmonized standard was prepared by the Association of Standardization and Certication, (ANCE) and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the Technical Harmonization Subcommittee 20, Building Wire and Cable on the Harmonization of Electrotechnic

26、al Standards of the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. The present Mexican standard was developed by the CT 20, Electric Cables from the Comite de Normalizacion

27、 de la Asociacion de Normalizacion y Certicacion, A.C., CONANCE, with the collaboration of CANAME member manufacturers and users. This standard will be submitted to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for publication as an American National Standard. Application of Standard Where refere

28、nce is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this standard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge

29、 its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of Harmonization This standard is published as an equivalent standard for ANCE and UL.

30、 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover round or at metal-clad cables that contain 0.824 1010 mm 2 (18 AWG 2000 kcmil) insulated circuit conductors with or without one or more optical-ber members, all enclosed in armor consisting of interlocked metal strip or a smooth or corrugated metal tube. Round c

31、ables contain one or more insulated circuit conductors. Flat cable contains two or three insulated circuit conductors. These electrical and hybrid electrical/optical-ber cables are for use (optical and electrical functions associated in the case of a hybrid cable) as Type MC cable in accordance with

32、 Article 330 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 and in accordance with Article 330 of the Standard for Electrical Installations, NOM-001-SEDE. Note 1: In the United States, Type AC armored cables are covered in the Standard for Armored Cables, UL 4. Note 2: In the Un

33、ited States, metal-clad cables for use in Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations are required to comply with this Standard and the Standard for Metal-Clad Cables and Cable-Sealing Fittings for Use in Hazardous (Classied) Locations, UL 2225. 1.2 These requirements cover round or at armored cables

34、that have thermoplastic or thermoset insulation at voltage ratings not exceeding 600 V (thermoplastic) or 600 or 2000 V (thermoset) where subjected to temperatures not exceeding 75C or 90C , depending upon the voltage and temperature ratings of the circuit conductors in the cable. Cables with 600 V

35、conductors that also include one or more optical-ber members have -OF supplementing the type letters and are limited to carrying optical energy that has been ruled not hazardous to the human body. 1.3 These requirements do not cover Type MV (medium-voltage) cables rated for 2400 35000 V, which are c

36、overed in the Standard for Medium-Voltage Cables, UL 1072 or NMX-J-142/1-ANCE. A multiple-conductor Type MV cable with a smooth (other than lead) or corrugated metal sheath or with interlocked metal armor may be marked for use also as Type MC cable. 1.4 These requirements do not cover the optical or

37、 other performance of any optical-ber member or group of such members. 2 Denitions 2.1 The following denitions apply in this Standard: 2.2 ETFE and ECTFE Thermoplastic materials whose characteristic constituent is either a copolymer of ethylene and tetrauoroethylene (ETFE) or a copolymer of ethylene

38、 and chlorotriuoroethylene (ECTFE). The material is uncompounded ECTFE or ETFE to which a small amount of pigment, lubricant, or both, is or is not added. 2.3 mPPE A compounded thermoplastic material whose characteristic constituent is: Poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether). MAY 4, 2018 NMX-J-726-

39、ANCE UL 1569 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 2.4 PVC A thermoplastic compound whose characteristic constituent is polyvinyl chloride or a copolymer of vinyl chloride or vinyl acetate. 2.5 PVDF A thermoplastic material whose

40、characteristic constituent is the homopolymer resin polyvinylidene uoride. The material is uncompounded PVDF to which it is appropriate to add a small amount of pigment, lubricant, or both. 2.6 PVDF COPOLYMER A thermoplastic material whose characteristic constituent is a copolymer of polyvinylidene

41、uoride and hexauoropropylene. The material is the uncompounded copolymer to which it is appropriate to add a small amount of pigment, lubricant, or both. 2.7 SEMIRIGID PVC (SRPVC) A partially plasticized thermoplastic compound whose characteristic constituent is polyvinyl chloride or a copolymer of

42、vinyl chloride or vinyl acetate. 2.8 TPE An extensible compound whose characteristic constituent is a thermoplastic elastomer. 2.9 TPU Thermoplastic polyurethane, a compounded thermoplastic elastomer material whose characteristic constituent is a polyester- or polyester-based urethane linear polymer

43、 resin characterized by soft amorphous segments containing hard crystalline microdomains. 2.10 Type MC Also known as metal-clad cable for the purpose of this standard, a factory assembly of one or more insulated circuit conductors with or without one or more optical-ber members, all of which are enc

44、losed in an armor consisting of interlocked metal strip or a smooth or corrugated metallic sheath, with or without an overall jacket. 3 General 3.1 Units of measure 3.1.1 The unit of measure shall be SI. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second valu

45、e represents a direct conversion or an alternative value. Except for conductor size, the rst stated value is the requirement. 3.2 Compliance 3.2.1 Metal-clad cable shall be designated as Type MC and shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements for construction details, test performa

46、nce, and markings.

47、he cable has armor consisting of interlocked metal strip, but does not include a jacket over the assembly under the armor: a) Cable that is marked for direct burial, and b) Cable that is intended for use in wet locations. 3.4 Reference publications 3.4.1 This Standard refers to the following publica
