Application:

LifeGuard™ Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable is for use in power circuits in chemical plants, refineries, steel mills, industrial plants, commercial buildings, utility substations and generating stations. It may be installed in open air, conduit, duct, cable tray when CT rated, or direct buried in earth, in wet and dry locations. It is highly flame retardant, produces very small amounts of smoke when burned and contains no halogens. LifeGuard™ cable is ideal for applications where a high degree of safety and equipment protection is required. It is UL approved for use at 105°C for continuous operation, 140°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.

Conductor
  • Compressed soft annealed copper per ASTM B-3, Class B stranding per ASTM B-8, with a semi-conducting conductor shield

Insulation
  • Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) per ICEA S-97-682 Type III with a semi-conducting insulation shield

Shield
  • Uncoated copper tape with a 25% overlap per ICEA S-97-682

Jacket
  • Sunlight-resistant and flame-retardant, Low Smoke Zero Halogen polyolefin per UL Standard 1072 and ICEA T-33-655-1994 Section 5-4

Flame Tests
  • CT listed sizes 1/0 AWG and larger
  • IEEE 383 70,000 BTU/hr Flame Test
  • IEEE 1202 70,000 BTU/hr Flame Test

Additional Standards
  • UL 1685
  • AEIC C5-8
  • Note: Some cable insulations may contain trace amounts of halogens.

Product Features
  • Cable tray rated on sizes 1/0 AWG and larger
  • Sunlight-resistant
  • Approved for direct burial
  • Tinned conductors provide ease of termination and added protection in caustic environments

  • LifeGuard™ jacket is environmentally safe – lead, sulfur and halogen free
  • Highly chemical resistant
  • Very flame retardant
  • Burns to an ash – does not exhibit thermoplastic drip
  • Excellent compression and impact resistance
  • Superior tensile strength and abrasion resistance
  • Flexible jacket with low coefficient of friction
