AC90 Cable?
AC90 cable, is a type of metal-clad wiring designed for dry locations. It features interlocked aluminum armor that provides mechanical protection and flexibility. Inside, the conductors are insulated with PVC and separated by an aluminum bond strip, offering a compact and easy-to-install solution.
Because of its design, AC90 is widely used in -especially where the cable is exposed to potential physical damage but to moisture.
Humidity can be one of the most damaging factors for electrical systems. When cables are exposed to moisture,
is critical for any installation near water sources, outdoor environments, basements, or underground spaces.
AC90 Cable
.
AC90 cable is for humid, damp, wet, or corrosive environments. The reason lies in its . Without a moisture-resistant sheath, the interlocked aluminum armor is directly exposed to the environment, allowing water and condensation to enter through the gaps.
AC90 cable should only be used in dry locations, as defined by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and National Electrical Code (NEC). Using AC90 in humid or outdoor areas risks corrosion, electrical failure, and non-compliance with safety standards.
- ACWU90 Cable – Similar to AC90 but with a , offering excellent moisture and corrosion resistance. Suitable for direct burial and wet locations.
- Teck90 Cable for superior protection against water, oil, and chemicals. Ideal for industrial, mining, and outdoor use.
