Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 16P Stranded BC Shield Al Tape PE Armour PVC RE-2Y(St)YRY 300V Instrumentation Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable features an 18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) single pair (16P) configuration, providing a thicker conductor compared to higher gauge numbers, which allows for better signal transmission over longer distances or in high-power applications. It is specifically designed for industrial environments where durability and interference protection are critical.v

Also Known As:

While the cable might have specific manufacturer or industry nomenclature, its description typically reflects its construction and use case, making it identifiable for procurement and installation purposes. Specific naming can vary by region or manufacturer.

Application:

These cables are used for transmission of analoge and digital signals in instrument and control systems at chemistry and petrochemistry industry plants, natural gas and petroleum plants. With blue sheath it is suitable for intrinsically safe systems. these cables are for indoor/outdoor installation, in dry and wet locations, on rack trays, in conduits.

Standards:

• The cable is likely designed and tested to comply with international standards such as those from IEC, EN, or VDE, ensuring its suitability for industrial applications.
• It meets the electrical requirements for 300V applications, providing assurance of its performance and safety in specified environments.
