105C Tri-rated Switchgear &
Control Panel Wires
Application
Flexible Tri-rated hook up wires Type PW01 have been
specifically designed for use in the switch, control, relay and
instrumentation panels of power circuits and for purposes
such as internal connectors in rectifier equipment, motor
starters and controllers.
By combining three national standards in one product, PW01
is suitable for equipment installations required to meet both
European and North American wiring regulations and codes
of practice. This facilitates design, simplifies
purchasing and cuts inventory costs.
Technical Data
Temperature range: Recognised by UL and CSA as heat-
resisting with a maximum conductor operating temperature
of 105C.
NOTE: BS 6231 specifies a maximum conductor
operating temperature of 90C for continuous use.
Under certain conditions these cables can be
operated at up to 105C, annex a of BS 6231
gives full details.
PW01 has good low temperature flexibility,
meeting cold bend tests down to -30C.
Maximum working voltage: UL, CSA 600V r.m.s.
BS 6231 (Uo/U) 600/1000V r.m.s
Oil resistance: PW01 is recognised by UL and CSA as
resistant to oil at temperatures up to 60C.
Spread of flame: VW-1, FT-1, BS 4066 : Part 1, EN 50265
and IEC 60332-1.
Applicable standards:
1. Underwriters Laboratory Listed. Conforms to
Subject 758 Appliance Wiring Material for Styles
1015, 1028, 1283 and 1284 as applicable. UL File
No E54385.
2. Canadian Standards Association approved.
Complies with Standard C22.2, No.127,
Type TEW. CSA File No. LL43273.
3. British Standards. Manufactured to BS 6231
Type CK.
Construction
1 Flexible plain annealed copper wire conductor
to BS 6360 (Class 5).
2 Plasticised PVC insulation specially formulated to
combine excellent electrical performance with robust
mechanical properties, yet still complying with UL, CSA
and BS tests for spread of flame on a single vertical cable.

ELECTRICAL DATA
The current ratings
tabulated left are based on
single cables in free air, a
maximum conductor
temperature of 105C and
an ambient temperature
of 45C.
The volts drop tabulated
above are for single cables
only. For circuits of single
phase 50Hz a.c. or two
wire d.c. the figures shown
should be multiplied by 2
and for three phase 50Hz
a.c. multiplied by 1.732.
NOTE: The temperature
rise in a conductor due
to current flow should be
limited to 40C.
Sizes and colours not
indicated left can be
manufactured to
special order.
Sizes over 120mm
2
are
bi-rated to UL & BS 6231.
The CSA standard does not
cover sizes above 120mm
2
.
Alternatives to the standard
cable can also be supplied
e.g., tinned copper
conductors, solid conductors
(Class 1) or semi-rigid
conductors (Class 2).
