2 LV AIRGUARD Low Voltage Cables for Harsh Environments FEATURES - No Knife? No Saw? No Problem! installation makes terminating & splicing safer for electricians, and it greatly reduces the chances of damage to the conductors. - LV AIRGUARD provides users the ease of installation of a tray cable - Superior crush and impact resistance as compared to MC-HL cables when tested in accordance with UL Smaller minimum bending radius as compared to metal clad cables. - Prysmian s patented Polymeric AIRBAG armor eliminates the concern of kinking or breaking of corrugated aluminum armor during installation or subsequent bending in service that is often associated with Type MC-HL cables - Reduced installation costs due to increased flexibility, ease of pulling, faster and safer cable preparation, - Use of less costly cable glands with significantly reduced installation time Low Voltage AIRGUARD cables are primarily designed for power, control, signal, and instrumentation applications in the harsh environments found in the heavy industrial and offshore markets. LV AIRGUARD has been designed to reduce installation costs in the field while improving the overall cable performance as compared to Type MC and MC-HL alternatives, which can often be costly, time consuming, and difficult to install. LV AIRGUARD is rated for installations in cable tray for exposed runs (Type TC-ER), conduit, and direct burial. It exceeds the stringent crush and impact resistance of UL 2225 for MC-HL cables and is permitted for use in Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations (TC-ER- HL) in accordance with National Electrical Code (2014) Sections (A)(2)(3) and (B)(i). Prysmian s patented AIRGUARD design affords far greater protection against water ingress and chemical attack than traditional MC armored cables. It also provides users the ease of installation of a tray cable while providing better mechanical and environmental protection than traditional metal clad cables. For 15 years, Medium Voltage AIRGUARD has been proven to outperform Metal Clad cables with better mechanical, chemical and installation performance. Now Prysmian s R&D group has extended that capability to our low voltage cables by designing LV AIRGUARD to solve the problems seen in the field. - AIRBAG layer provides superior protection from the ingress of harmful fluids, hydrocarbon and chemicals - Rated for installation in cable tray, for exposed runs (Type TC-ER), conduit, duct, direct burial, and aerial applications in Class I Division 2, Zone 2, and unclassified locations. - Permitted for use in Class I Division 1 and Zone 1 hazardous locations (Type TC-ER-HL) in accordance with National Electrical Code (2014) Sections (A)(2)(3) & (B)(i) - Rated for -40C/ -35C cold bend/ cold impact per CSA 22.2 No. 03 SPECIFICATIONS - ASTM B3 & ASTM B8 - UL 44 (XHHW-2) - ICEA S (NEMA WC 70) - IEEE 1202 (Flame Retardant) - ICEA S (NEMA WC57) - UL 1277 (TC-ER) - ICEA S (NEMA WC55) - UL 2225 (TC-ER-HL) - MSHA LV AIRGUARD 21

3 Prysmian Group s LV AIRGUARD Low installation cost 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 cost. The combination of AIRGUARD S unique design and strategically placed rip cords allows AIRGUARD to be stripped up to two or three times faster than Metal Clad cables without the worry of nicked or damaged phase conductors. LV 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. Outer Sheath AIRBAG Ground Wires Fillers Extruded Filler Belt EMI Shield Rip Cords Glands Prysmian s BiCon, (formally BICC), accessories group has developed a gland that allows for simple termination of LV AIRGUARD cable while grounding the sheath for both VFD applications and personal protection. Chemical Resistance Heavy 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, LV 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 LV AIRGUARD design it was imperative that the traditional toughness of the prior MV designs be passed on to the LV AIRGUARD design In crush tests Prysmian s LV AIRGUARD design is stronger than Metallic Armored Cables. Flame Not propagating a fire is a critical design of any cable for the industrial market. LV AIRGUARD passes all the industry standard flame tests, including IEEE 1202, FT-4 and IEEE 210,000 BTU flame test. VFD LV AIRGUARD Low Voltage 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. VFD designs up to 2kV are also available Product Range LV 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. 32

Its rugged polymeric AIRBAG armor and chemical barrier protection package makes it the ideal cable choice for tough harsh environmental conditions. AIRGUARD provides the solution to the deficiencies often encountered with MC-HL cables including armor breakage encountered during installation and in applications requiring recurring bending after installation, as well as poor performance in areas of high vibration (e.g. motor connections). It also provides a safer and lower installed cost alternative to MC-HL cables due to faster, No Knife/ No Saw cable preparation and substantially reduced cost of cable glands.
