Applications
Okotherm CIC 600 volt control cables are used in systems where, in the event of
a fire, circuit integrity is required in order to maintain a process or to
safely shut down the process. Fire resistance is determined by compliance to the
IEC 60331 circuit integrity fire test. Okotherm CIC cables maintain circuit
integrity based on qualification to IEC standard 60331, 750°C
for 90 minutes. When exposed to a fire,
the Okotherm CIC insulation becomes an electrically insulating ceramic-like ash
that is capable of maintaining the operating voltage.
Okotherm CIC CLX Type MC cables with the impervious, continuous aluminum
corrugated sheath are recommended as an alternative to a wire conduit system.
These cables may be installed indoors or outdoors, in wet or dry locations, as
open runs of cable secured to supports not more than six feet apart, in cable
tray, as an aerial cable on a messenger, in any approved raceway, direct burial,
or encased in concrete. They are also approved for use in Class I & II, Division
2, Class III, Division 1 and 2 and Class I, Zones 1 & 2 hazardous locations per
NEC Articles 501, 502, 503, and 505. They are listed by the American Bureau of
Shipping (ABS) as CWCMC-CLXM and by UL as marine shipboard cable.
Okotherm CIC CLX Type MC control cables are authorized for use on services,
feeders and branch circuits for power, lighting, control and signaling circuits
in accordance with NEC articles 330 and 725.
