Benefits

• Suitability for different operation types and locations in the USA as per NFPA/ NEC under one LAPP part number, thanks to UL listings (UL) STOOW and (UL) TC, resp. TC-ER, as well as thanks to design and characteristics associated with these listings
• Apart from unprotected laying on tray in the USA thanks to TC(-ER) listing: …further, normatively specified, unprotected wiring methods in the USA per application related NEC Articles, thanks to (UL) listing STOOW/ Extra-hard usage Flexible Cord

Application range

• Industrial machinery, plant engineering in the USA
• Unprotected 600V operation on cable tray in the USA, incl. 6 ft. Exposed Run laying sections for version with at least 3 conductors
• As per Article 400 of NEC/ NFPA 70: General Uses Permitted in the USA and General Uses Not Permitted to the overall group of Flexible Cords and Flexible Cables acc. to UL 62;
  Operating bids and limitations for Flexible Cords in special applications acc. to further NEC Articles, such as 501 (Class I Locations), 422 (Appliances), or 520 (specific locations for play and production of entertainment), etc.
• Further, typical locations in the USA, as specified by respective US installation standardization (e.g., NEC/ NFPA 70): Power cord for equipment, paint booths, appliances, factory installations (branch circuit), any power hook-up in the plant, for harnessed power connecting or extension cord set assemblies
• In hazardous locations in the USA, as per Chapter 5 of NEC/ NFPA 70: Classes I thru III, Divisions 1 and 2 each, plus intrinsically safe circuits, taking account of:
  – Provisions on cable design, cable type, installation, application in NEC Chapter 5 (esp.: Articles 500 thru 504);
  – This cable’s design, approvals, component identification
