Applications
Wiring of ovens or similar high temperature equipment such as commercial cooking equipment, heater bands, blast furnaces, coke ovens and cement kilns, where not subjected to repeated flexing and protected from mechanical abuse, and where the acceptability, including current-carrying capacity has been determined by UL.
Features and Benefits
- Outperforms UL 5128/5107 MGT products
- Unique insulation system offers outstanding heat-aged flexibility for longer service life
- Passes UL 2X mandrel test after heat aging (UL 5128/5107 is 3X mandrel)
- Modified silicone jacket virtually eliminates dermatitis problems associated with handling fiberglass and braid fray
- 550°C temperature rating allows wire to be installed in extreme environments and reduces the cost of added thermal protection (glass sleeve, ceramic insulator, etc)
- Excellent cutting and stripping characteristics, making it ideal for high volume manufacturing and assembly
- Provides dimensional consistency and uniformity
- Resists braid pushback
- Oxygen-free high conductivity copper with 27% nickel-plated per ASTM B-355, Class K stranded per ASTM B-174 or Class H stranded per ASTM B-173
- Insulation: non melting, non burning insulation. Mica Glass composite
- Fiberglass braid jacket with silicone coating
- Withstands mechanical abuse
- 550°C – 600 Volts – UL Style 5400 / AWM Class I A/B FT1
- VW-1 Flame Rated
