Low Voltage AIRGUARD® Advantages
Reduced installation costs while improving the overall cable performance in harsh environments!
Strippability – No Knife!? No Saw? No Problem! The ability to strip a cable quickly without damaging the phase conductors is critical in reducing installation costs. The combination of Low Voltage AIRGUARD’S unique design and strategically placed rip cords allows it to be stripped up to three times faster than Metal Clad cables without the worry of nicked or damaged phase conductors. Low Voltage AIRGUARD cables do not require the use of a saw (as in the case of CCW cables) which results in increased personnel safety and reduces the potential for damage to the underlying core.
Chemical Resistance – Industrial plants require cable that will stand up to corrosive chemicals and hydrocarbons. Whether installing in a direct burial application, in tray, or in the air, Low Voltage AIRGUARD’s proprietary polymeric layer provides the best protection in the market for the broadest range of chemicals.
Mechanical Resistance – AIRGUARD is known for its mechanical strength. When Prysmian’s R&D engineers were designing Prysmian’s new Low Voltage AIRGUARD it was imperative that the traditional toughness of the prior medium voltage designs be passed on to the Low Voltage AIRGUARD. In crush and impact testing, it is proven to be significantly stronger than metallic armored cables.
Flame – Not propagating a fire is a critical design parameter of any cable for the industrial market. Low voltage AIRGUARD passes all the industry standard flame tests, including IEEE 1202, FT-4 and IEEE 383 210,000 BTU flame test.
VFD – Low Voltage AIRGUARD VFD cables are designed with three
symmetrically placed ground wires and an aluminum or copper sheath to contain
the generation of high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) imposed on
the cable when installed in a circuit containing a Variable Frequency Drive.
In the event of catastrophic cable damage, this shield, plus the 3 segmented
ground wires, should contain any arcing and effectively conduct system fault
current to ground.
Product Range – Low Voltage AIRGUARD is available in 600V Power, Control &
Instrumentation, from #16 AWG to 1000 kcmil. Standard stocked items include
instrumentation cables, control cables to 37/C, and power cables to 3/C 750
kcmil.
LSOH Option – AIRGUARD is available in Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LS0H) construction. Add “LSOH” to the part number to specify as such.
