23、ments cover nonmetallic-sheathed cables containing24thermoplastic-insulated circuit conductors, with a grounding conductor, in the constructions indicated in Table 1. These cables are intended for use in accordance with Article 334 and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

24、 Type NMC cable is for use in dry, moist, damp, and corrosive locations, and Type NM cable is for use in normally dry locations. Both types carry the suffix letter -B to designate the use of conductors with 90C insulation. 1.2 A cable to which the designation ST1 (signifying limited smoke ) is appli

25、ed as a type-letter suffix complies with the test criteria for smoke release and for cable damage height stated in the Standard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables, UL 1685. 2 General 2.1 Units of Measurement 2.1.1 In addition to being st

26、ated 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 conveniently usable in countries employing the various metric systems (practical SI and customary). Equivalent although not necessarily exactly iden

27、tical 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 applied in metric terms. 2.2 Reference publications 2.2.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this st

32、 units of a conductor run over the top of the member or conductor as they recede from an observer looking along the axis of the member or conductor. 3.3 EQUIPMENT-GROUNDING CONDUCTOR a conductor that is dened in the National Electrical Code and the Standard for Electrical Installations as Grounding

33、Conductor, Equipment . 3.4 GROUNDED CIRCUIT CONDUCTOR a circuit conductor that is intentionally grounded. 3.5 LENGTH OF LAY the length along the longitudinal axis of the conductor or assembly for any component to complete one revolution. 3.6 NYLON a thermoplastic compound whose main characteristic c

34、onstituent is polyamide. 3.7 POLYPROPYLENE a thermoplastic compound whose characteristic constituent is polypropylene, the crystalline copolymer of ethylene and propylene. 3.8 PVC a thermoplastic compound whose characteristic constituent is polyvinyl chloride or a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vin

37、 4.2.1 A cable shall be one of the following types and shall comply in all respects with the applicable requirements for construction details, test performance, and marking. 4.2.2 Type NMC cable is required to comply with a ame test and to be resistant to moisture, fungi, and corrosion and also to h

38、ave some degree of inherent protection against mechanical abuse. 4.2.3 Type NM cable is required to comply with a ame test, to be resistant to moisture, and to have some degree of inherent protection against mechanical abuse. 4.2.4 Each of the materials used for the insulation, spacers, llers, jacke

39、t, and other nonmetallic parts of a Type NMC cable shall be resistant to fungi, moisture, and corrosion. 4.2.5 Polypropylene, PVC, and glass are known to be resistant to fungi and hence, are acceptable in this respect without exposure tests. Tests to determine the degree of resistance to fungi are t

40、o be made as indicated in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) the Standard for Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi, ASTM G21, on materials not known to have the requisite property. Cotton, paper, jute, hemp, and the like are not acceptable

41、in the construction of Type NMC cable. 4.2.6 The requirement in 4.2.4 that the insulation used in the construction of a Type NMC cable be resistant to moisture is intended to indicate that the insulation be acceptable for use where it is only occasionally and temporarily exposed to dampness or wetne

42、ss. It is not intended that the insulation be for use in wet locations. 4.3 Conductors 4.3.1 Only soft-annealed copper, copper-clad aluminum, or an acceptable aluminum alloy shall be used for the conductor or conductors in a cable. Soft-annealed copper shall comply with the Standard Specication for

43、Soft or Annealed Copper Wire, ASTM B3. Solid aluminum conductors in size 128AWG shall comply with the requirements for aluminum-wire stock (aluminum-alloy conductor material). All other aluminum conductors shall comply with the Requirements for Aluminum Conductors of an 8000 Series Alloy , Section i
