Teck 90 cable, a flexible armoured cable originally designed for use in Canadian mines, has become a key component for the distribution of electricity through a broad range of industrial, commercial and manufacturing facilities.
Teck 90 cable combination of interlocking flexible armour with two layers of PVC jacket provide a rugged, compact and flexible cable that is resistant to corrosion, water and mechanical abuse. It is designed for use in wet or dry locations with a maximum conductor temperature of 90˚C and a low temperature rating of -40°C.
DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
Application:
Teck 90 cable is used extensively by the pulp and paper, chemical, mining, petrochemical and manufacturing industries in a broad range of applications, especially where cable may be subjected to mechanical damage and corrosive chemicals.
Commercial applications for Teck cable include apartment buildings and commercial complexes. Teck cable is also an economical alternative as the need for conduits or ducts and pull boxes is eliminated.
Teck 90 cable is approved for use; in wet and dry locations, indoor and outdoor, in exposed and concealed wiring, in ventilated, non-ventilated and ladder type cable trays, for direct earth burial and for service entrance installations, above and below ground. It is ‘HL’ rated for use in all hazardous locations when used with optional 'HL' approved connectors.

CONSTRUCTION
- Conductor:Class B compact or compressed concentric stranded soft drawn bare copper per ASTM, conforming to CSA C68.3.
- Conductor Shielding:A thermoset semi-conducting shield is extruded over the conductor on all cables rated over 1kV. Minimum thickness in accordance with CSA C68.3, Table 2.
- Insulation:Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), meeting the requirements of CSA RW90 for cables rated up to and including 1kV. For cables rated 5kV and above, the TR-XLPE insulation meets the requirements of CSA Standard C68.3 M92.
- Metallic Shield:A 15% gapped copper tape shield meeting the requirements of CSA C68.3 is helically applied to the insulated conductors in three conductor shielded cables rated 5kV and above. In single conductor cables, the concentric ground serves as the metallic shield and bonding conductor.
- Bonding (Ground) Conductor:Class B stranded soft bare copper conductor, in accordance with CSA C68.3 and CSA C22.2 No. 131, is included in the assembled cable for multiconductor cables. In single conductor cables, the concentric ground serves as the metallic shield and bonding conductor.
- Fillers and Core Binder Tape:Where required, suitable fillers to make round and core binders may be used.
- Inner Jacket:Flame-retardant and moisture resistant PVC Jacket is applied over the core in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 131.
- Armour:Flame-retardant and moisture resistant PVC Jacket is applied over the core in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 131.
- Outer Jacket:A low temperature (-40°C), flame-retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant PVC jacket is applied over the armour in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 131. Minimum thickness in accordance with CSA 68.3, Table 21. Complete cable FT4 rated.
