Galvanized Interlocking Steel and/or Aluminum Armor
Features & Benefits
- A neutral per phase Type MC cable designed for multi-wire branch circuit applications
- Addresses harmonics distortions in power distribution systems and meets the requirements of NEC® 210.4(B) Disconnecting Means
- Eliminates shared neutrals, and allows electrical systems to continue to operate
- Designed to meet NEC® 210.4(B)
- Decreases the time it takes to identify a faulty circuit because only the affected single phase breaker will trip thus, reducing the length of unnecessary outages
- Traditional Type MC cable with a green insulated copper grounding conductor
- Aluminum armored cables are RoHS compliant
- Made in USA of US and/or imported materials
Applications
Branch circuit wiring for a variety of power distribution systems from lighting, to devices and receptacles. Branch circuit to computers and other electronic equipment where additive harmonics currents from nonlinear switching loads may be present
