FIRE RESISTANT CONTROL CABLE
THE NEED THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION
To protect the community from loss of power due to fire in public utilities.
To provide control cables for crit ical circuits and computer con trols in public utility generating stations.
Continental Wire uses Teflon* -- the modern material that does not burn -- for both insulation and jacket on their control cables. Teflon will withstand temperatures of 400F for continuous service.
Teflon covered control cables offer additional features of interest to the engineers responsible for the operation of public utility generating stations:
ELECTRICAL STABILITY
continuous operation to +400F
INCREASED RELIABILITY
Teflon has almost universal chemical inert ness -- completely resistant to corrosives and lubricants
high abrasion and excellent cut-through resistance
will support emergency current overloads under conditions which cause other insula tions to disintegrate
CONVENIENCES
color coding smaller diameter
Continental's Teflon insulated control cables are available in sizes from 20 through 12. Where desired, the conductors can be twisted into pairs and shielded.
A typical Continental-designed 4 conductor No. Id Teflon covered control cable, recently supplied to a large utility company, had the following characteristics:
DC Conductor Resistance at 25C:
Dielectric Constant: Insulation*. Cold Bend:
4.85 ohms/ft. 2.2 max. 5000 megohms/1000 ft. -55C
The York office will provide detailed specifications and pricing information for specific requirements.
