APPLICATION:
Type MC Cable can be used to replace wire and conduit in applications such as cable tray, power lighting, service feeders and branch circuits as permitted by the National Electrical Code. KINGWIRE’S aluminum MC cable is suitable for use in concealed or exposed installations including environmental air spaces per NEC 300.22. In addition, KINGWIRE’S aluminum MC is suitable for use in vertical applications if installed per the NEC requirements of section 300.19(A) and section 330.30.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Type MC cable is constructed with 3 or 4 8000 series compact stranded aluminum XHHW-2 conductors cabled with a bare or insulated 8000 series aluminum grounding conductor. A binder identification baring tape is wrapped over the cabled assembly. Aluminum armor is interlocked over the conductor assembly. All insulated conductors are phase identified.
STANDARDS:
UL Standard 44, UL standard 1569, Federal Specification JC-30B, ICEA S-66-524 and requirements of the National Electrical Code.
Compliant to RoHS, Directive 2002/95/EC, ICEA S-95-658, NEMA WC 70.

Notes:
1. Ampacities shown are based on the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) Table 310.16. Ampacities have been adjusted for more than three current-carrying conductors.
2. Standard lengths are subject to normal manufacturing tolerance of +/- 10%
3. Other ground sizes are available upon request. MC cables in parallel must have a ground size meeting the minimum size specified in NEC Table 250.122 based on the rating or setting of the over-current protection device. Cables with undersized grounds will not meet code and are subject to rejection by the electrical inspector. Where necessary to comply with NEC 250.4(A)(5) or (B)(4), larger ground sizes may be required.
4. Image shows standard colors and bare ground. Green insulated ground and alternate phase insulation colors are available, e.g. high voltage colors (Brown/Orange/Yellow/Gray), upon request.
