Application:
LifeGuard Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable is for use in power, control and lighting circuits in a broad range of utility substation applications where shielding from ambient electrical interference is required. It is highly flame retardant, produces very small amounts of smoke when burned and contains no halogens. LifeGuard cable is ideal for applications where a high degree of safety and equipment protection is required.
LifeGuard cable is NEC listed as Type TC-LS and approved for installation indoors or outdoors, aerially, in conduits, ducts, cable trays and direct burial in circuits not exceeding 600 volts. It may be installed in temperatures as low as -30°C and used in NEC Class I and II, Division 2 hazardous locations. It is NEC approved for continuous operation at 90°C in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.
Product Features:
•FM Approved per cable fire propagation Standard 3972, Group 1
•Tray rated
