Key Technical Parameters | Parámetros Técnicos | 關鍵技術參數
Product Overview
The 3/C CSA TECK 90 1000V Aluminum Power Cable is a heavy-duty, three-conductor armored power cable engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring mechanical protection, environmental resistance, and hazardous location approval. The “TECK 90” designation refers to CSA C22.2 No. 131 Type TECK 90 Cable standard, indicating a cable with thermosetting insulation rated for 90°C continuous operation with an interlocking metal armor.
This cable utilizes 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy conductors per ASTM B801, which provide superior creep resistance and connection reliability compared to traditional AA-1350 aluminum. The compact stranded Class B construction per ASTM B836 reduces overall cable diameter while maintaining flexibility and current-carrying capacity. The 1000V CSA rating (600V UL) makes this cable suitable for primary power distribution in industrial facilities.
Purpose and Applications
CSA TECK 90 cables are specifically designed for exposed or concealed wiring installations in both wet and dry locations. The aluminum interlocked armor (AIA) provides excellent mechanical protection, allowing installation in challenging environments without additional conduit. Per CSA C22.2 No. 131 and No. 174, permitted applications include:
Key Characteristics and Material Advantages
The XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation provides exceptional dielectric strength, thermal stability, and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and treeing. Unlike thermoplastic insulations, XLPE maintains its properties at elevated temperatures and has superior overload and short-circuit performance, making it ideal for power distribution applications.
The 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy conductor offers significant advantages over both copper and traditional aluminum conductors. The alloy’s enhanced creep resistance ensures stable connections over time, while its lighter weight (approximately 50% of copper) reduces installation costs and structural loading. The aluminum interlocked armor provides continuous mechanical protection with inherent flexibility, eliminating the need for expansion fittings in long runs.
The FT4 flame rating per IEEE 1202 (70,000 BTU/hr vertical tray test) ensures the cable will not propagate flame in grouped installations, making it suitable for cable tray installations in critical facilities. The CSA SUN RES rating confirms UV stability for outdoor and sunlight-exposed installations.

產品概述
3/C CSA TECK 90 1000V 鋁芯電力電纜是一種重型三芯鎧裝電力電纜，專為需要機械保護、環境耐受性和危險場所認證的苛刻工業應用而設計。”TECK 90″標識指的是CSA C22.2 No. 131 TECK 90型電纜標準，表示具有熱固性絕緣的電纜，額定90°C連續運行，配備互鎖金屬鎧裝。
本電纜採用符合ASTM B801的8000系列鋁合金導體，與傳統AA-1350鋁相比，提供卓越的抗蠕變性和連接可靠性。符合ASTM B836的B級緊壓絞合結構在保持柔韌性和載流能力的同時減少了電纜總直徑。1000V CSA額定值（600V UL）使該電纜適用於工業設施的一次配電。
用途與應用
CSA TECK 90電纜專為潮濕和乾燥場所的明敷或暗敷布線而設計。鋁互鎖鎧裝（AIA）提供出色的機械保護，允許在具有挑戰性的環境中安裝而無需額外管道。根據CSA C22.2 No. 131和No. 174，允許的應用包括：
• 製漿造紙廠 — 腐蝕性環境中的主電源饋線和電機電路
• 鋼鐵廠 — 高溫工業配電系統
• 食品加工廠 — 潮濕環境中可沖洗的安裝
• 採礦作業 — 地下和露天採礦電力電路
• 發電站 — 電廠輔助系統和設備饋線
• 煉油廠和化工廠 — 危險場所（HL）額定電路
• 商業中心 — 建築物進線和配電
• 直埋 — 無需管道的地下電力分配
主要特性和材料優勢
XLPE（交聯聚乙烯）絕緣提供卓越的介電強度、熱穩定性以及對潮濕、化學品和樹枝化的抵抗能力。與熱塑性絕緣不同，XLPE在高溫下保持其特性，並具有優越的過載和短路性能，使其成為配電應用的理想選擇。
8000系列鋁合金導體相比銅和傳統鋁導體具有顯著優勢。該合金增強的抗蠕變性確保連接隨時間保持穩定，而其較輕的重量（約為銅的50%）降低了安裝成本和結構負載。FT4阻燃等級符合IEEE 1202（70,000 BTU/hr垂直托盤測試），確保電纜在成組安裝中不會傳播火焰。
