21、4UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover Type ITC instrumentation control cables consisting of two or more current-carrying copper or thermocouple alloy conductors with or without eit

22、her or both: a) Grounding conductor(s), bare or insulated, and b) One or more optical-ber members, all under an overall jacket. These electrical and composite electrical/optical-ber cables are intended for use (optical and electrical functions associated in the case of a hybrid cable) on circuits ra

23、ted 150 V or less and5Aorless in accordance with Article 727 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC). 1.2 These cables are rated 300 V but are not so marked. Cables for direct-burial are so marked. Jacketed Type ITC cables comply with one of the following 70,000 Btu/h (20.5

24、kW) vertical-tray ame tests: a) The UL test referenced in 35.2.1 35.2.2 of these requirements. These paragraphs apply the test method described as the UL Flame Exposure (smoke measurements are not applicable) in the Standard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical an

25、d Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685. b) The FT4/IEEE 1202 test referenced in 35.3.1 of these requirements. This paragraph applies the test method described as the FT4/IEEE 1202 Type of Flame Exposure (smoke measurements are not applicable) in UL 1685. c) For limited-smoke cable, either the UL test or th

26、e FT4/IEEE 1202 test referenced in 35.4.1 and 35.4.2 of these requirements. These paragraphs apply the test methods described in UL 1685 with smoke measurements included. 1.3 A cable that contains one or more electromagnetic shields may be surface marked or have a marker tape to indicate that it is

27、shielded. A cable that contains one or more optical-ber members has -OF supplementing the type letters and is limited (see 14.3) to carrying optical energy that has been ruled not hazardous to the human body. 1.4 All Type ITC cables qualify for exposure to sunlight (a 720-hour sunlight-resistance te

28、st is required see 29.1). A marking is not required; however, where used, the marking consists of sun res or sunlight resistant on the tag and either on the overall cable jacket or legible through the jacket see 42.1(i). 1.5 These cables may have a metal sheath or armor over the required non/metalli

29、c jacket. 1.6 These requirements do not cover the optical or other performance of any optical-ber member or group of such members. 1.7 The overall jacket on Type ITC cable is a gas/vapor-tight continuous sheath in the sense discussed in Sections 501.5 (D) and 501.5 (E) of the National Electrical Cod

30、e, ANSI/NFPA 70, (see 16.1.1). MARCH 30, 2017 INSTRUMENTATION TRAY CABLE - UL 2250 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 1.8 Cables that are surface marked -ER are for use as exposed runs of not more than 50 ft (15.2 m) between a

31、cable tray and equipment where the cables are supported and secured every 6 ft (1.8 m). 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 In addition to being stated in the inch/pound units that are customary in the USA, each of the requirements in this Standard is also stated in units that make the requirement convenient

32、ly usable in countries employing the various metric systems (practical SI and customary). Equivalent although not necessarily exactly identical results are to be expected from applying a requirement in USA or metric terms. Equipment calibrated in metric units is to be used when a requirement is appl

33、ied in metric terms. 3 References 3.1 Wherever the designation UL 1581 is used in this Standard, reference is to be made to the designated part(s) of the Reference Standard for Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords, UL 1581. CONSTRUCTION 4 Materials 4.1 Each material used in a cable shall be

34、compatible with all of the other materials used in the cable. 4.2 Instrumentation tray cable shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements for construction details, test performance, and markings. 5 Conductors 5.1 The conductors shall be of soft-annealed copper or thermocouple alloy.

35、 Soft-annealed copper shall comply with ASTM B3. A metal coating that is provided on soft-annealed copper, in compliance with Section8shallbeoftincomplyingwithASTMB33,ofatin/leadalloycomplyingwithASTMB189,ofnickel complying with ASTM B355, of silver complying with ASTM B298 or of another metal or al

36、loy (evaluation required). Thermocouple alloys are not specied. 5.2 Each conductor shall be continuous throughout the entire length of the nished cable see test in 19.1 and 19.2.

37、ISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 6 Size, Temper, and Assembly 6.1 Conductors shall be solid or stranded 22 12 AWG copper or solid size 22 12 AWG thermocouple alloy. The sizes of thermocouple-extension wire are nominal and are intended only for use in the cable marking that is described in 42.1

38、(g). The conductor in a thermocouple-extension wire is not required to comply with a diameter or resistance value. 7 Conductor Diameter and Cross-Sectional Area 7.1 The diameter of a solid conductor shall not be smaller than indicated in Table 20.1 of UL 1581 when determined as described in 200.1 an

39、d 200.2 of UL 1581. The cross-sectional area of a stranded conductor shall not be smaller than indicated in the 0.98X nominal column Table 20.1 of UL 1581 when determined as required in 7.2. 7.2 The cross-sectional area of a stranded conductor is to be determined either: a) As the sum of the areas o

40、f its component strands, or b) By the weight method outlined in 210.1 210.4 of UL 1581. 8 Metal Coating 8.1 If the insulation adjacent to a conductor is of a material that corrodes unprotected copper in the test in 500.1 of UL 1581, and if a protective separator is not provided, the solid conductor

41、and each of the individual strands of a stranded conductor shall be separately covered with a metal or alloy coating complying with 5.1 as applicable to the nished wire type. 8.2 Use of a metal coating is not specied on a solid conductor or the individual wires (strands) of a stranded conductor on w

42、hich a metal coating is not required for corrosion protection. 8.3 The maximum temperature rating of the cable is not specied relative to the diameter of copper wires used in the serving, wrap, or braid shielding described in 15.5.2(b). Otherwise, copper strands and solid copper conductors shall not

43、 be used in a cable with a temperature rating higher than indicated in Table 8.1.

A separator shall be insulating but sh

46、all not be considered to be part of the required insulation. 9.2 A separator used between a conductor and insulation shall be colored or shall be opaque to make the separator clearly distinguishable from the conductor once the insulation is removed. The color shall be other than green or green and y

47、ellow and may be solid, striped, or in some other pattern. 10 Joints 10.1 A joint in a solid conductor or in one of the individual wires of a stranded conductor shall be made in a workmanlike manner, shall be essentially smooth, and shall not have any sharp projections. A joint in a stranded conduct

48、or is to be made by separately joining each individual wire, or is to be made by machine brazing or welding of the conductor as a whole provided that the resulting solid section of the stranded conductor is not longer than 1/2 in or 13 mm, there are no sharp points, and the distance between brazes o

49、r welds in a single conductor does not average less than 3000 ft or 915 m in any reel length of insulated single conductor. A joint made before insulation is applied to a conductor shall not increase the diameter of the solid conductor or individual wire (strand). The insulation applied to joints after insulating shall be equivalent to that removed and shall comply with the requirements in this Standard. 11 Resistance 11.1 The direct-current resistance of any length of condu
