FAQ
Can these cables be buried or placed in conduit?
-
Conduit: Yes, but applying the grouping factor. If there are more than three conductors in a conduit, their permitted ampacity must be reduced.
-
Buried: Generally, direct burial is not recommended. Thermal cables (TGGT/MG) use fiberglass braids that can absorb moisture from the soil. For underground applications, use sealed conduits and cables with XLPE insulation.
What safety certifications must high-temperature cables comply with?
Regulatory compliance is vital for industrial safety. Key certifications include:
-
UL (Underwriters Laboratories): E.g., UL 5196. Guarantees rigorous fire and voltage testing.
-
CSA (Canadian Standards Association): Requirement for North American markets.
-
CE and IEC: Global standards (e.g., IEC 60331) for fire resistance and conductor quality.
What is the best cable for the internal wiring of heat-generating household appliances?
The AGR-type cable (Silicone + Fiberglass) is the standard. It offers the flexibility of silicone (up to 200°C) with the mechanical protection of fiberglass. It is ideal for ovens and air fryers, where space is limited and heat is constant.
