generators, portable and stationary heavy
duty equipment, cranes, conveyors and other
mobile equipment. They are also recommended
for use on Payout and Retractable reels,
festoons, suspended loops and power
tracks. They may be installed in air, in ducts,
immersed in water or directly buried in the
earth. However, they are not UL Type USE.
For cables requiring reduced flame
propagation, refer to the factory.
Features
n Suitable for continuous operating
temperatures of 90°C
n Suitable for use in festoons, suspended

Features
n Specially engineered cable design produces a
longer cable life in VFD applications.
n Overall braid plus foil shield is engineered
with 100% coverage and a surface transfer
impedance <50 milliohms at 10MHz to
contain EMI.
n Symmetrical insulated ground conductors
reduce induced voltage imbalances and carry
common mode noise back to the drive.
n High strand count conductors and braid
shield design is much more flexible, easier
to install and more resistant to vibration
than Type MC cable.
n Gexol’s lower dielectric constant (standard
XLPEs, EPRs and other Type P insulation
materials have higher dielectric constants)
reduces reflected wave peak voltage
magnitudes. This allows for longer output
cable distances and minimizes the effect
of high frequency noise induced into the
plant ground system.
n 2kV insulation thickness is used to resist the
potential 2-3x reflected voltages experienced
in 600V VFD applications.
n Dual certified IEEE 1580 Type P and
UL 1309/CSA 245 Type X110.
n Highest ampacity ratings: ABS 100˚C, DNV
95˚C, LRS 95˚C, Transport Canada 95˚C.
n Severe cold durability: exceeds CSA cold
bend/cold impact (-40˚C/-35˚C).
n Flame retardant: IEC 332-3 Category A
and IEEE 1202.
n Optional braid armor of bronze, aluminum
or tinned copper.

TC-ER Ratings & Approvals
n UL Listed as Type TC-ER 600V

n 90°C Temperature Rating
n FT-4 and IEEE 1202 flame ratings

A flexible, shielded power cable specifically
engineered for use in variable frequency
AC motor drive (VFD) applications.
Features
n Specially engineered cable design produces a
longer cable life in VFD applications.
n Overall shield provides 100% coverage
containing VFD EMI emissions.
n Symmetrical ground conductors reduce induced
voltage imbalances and carry common mode
noise back to the drive.
n High strand count design is much more flexible,
easier to install and more resistant to vibration
than Type MC cable.
n Meets crush and impact requirements for
Type MC cable.
n AmerCable’s specially formulated insulation
material has a lower dielectric constant
(standard XLPE and EPR insulation materials
have higher dielectric constants) which
withstands reflected voltages. This allows for
longer output cable distances and minimizes
the effect of high frequency noise
induced into the plant ground system.
n Permitted for Exposed Run (“ER”)
use in accordance with the NEC.
n Permitted for use in Class I, Division 2 and Zone
2 industrial hazardous locations per the NEC.
n Gas and vapor tight – impervious to water
and air.
n Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less)
than Type MC.
n Reduced installation time and cost compared
to Type MC.
n Glands for this product cost up to 50% LESS
than those for Type MC.
n Bend radius 12X O.D.

Jacket
A black, arctic grade, flame retardant, oil,
abrasion, chemical and sunlight resistant
thermosetting compound meeting UL 1309/
CSA 245, IEEE 1580, and UL 1072. This
jacket allows for isolation between the
insulation shields and overall shield. Shields
can then be terminated on opposite ends to
minimize circulating currents.
Armor/EMI Shield
Overall tinned copper braid plus aluminum/
polyester tape provides 100% coverage.
This braid serves as both an armor and
EMI shield meeting both IEEE 1580 and
UL 1307/CSA 245.
Sheath (optional)

Applications
n Flexible stranded conductors and

applications involving repeated
flexing and high vibration.
n Small minimum bending radius
(8x OD) for easy installation.
n Insulation has a very low dielectric
constant. This allows for longer output cable distances and
minimizes common mode current.
n Overall braid plus foil shield is
engineered with 100% coverage and a
surface transfer impedance <50 milliohms at 10MHz to contain EMI.
n Symmetrical insulated ground
conductors reduce induced voltage
imbalances and carry common
mode noise back to the drive.
n High strand count conductors and
braid shield design is much more
flexible, easier to install and more
resistant to vibration than Type
MC cable.
n Severe cold durability: exceeds
CSA cold bend/cold impact

ASTM B-33
Conductor Shield
Insulation
Combination semiconducting
tape and/or extruded
semiconductive thermosetting
material. The semiconductive
tape prevents any penetration
of the extruded conductor
shield into the inner layers
of the flexible conductor.
Heat resisting 90°C
Ethylene-Propylene rubber
(EPR), meeting ASTM
D-2802. It has excellent
dielectric properties and is
highly resistant to heat,
moisture, and ozone.
Identification

Cable is surface printed
showing manufacturer’s
name, size, voltage rating,

Portable dual rated 5000/15000 volt jumper
cables can be used as temporary jumper
leads for portable or mobile substations,
or for temporarily by-passing damaged or
faulted sections of power cable. The finely
stranded conductor provides an exceptionally
flexible cable that can be easily trained
and connected in confined areas such as
transformer vaults and switch gear
enclosures.
Features
n Extremely flexible stranding
n Bright red thermosetting jacket
n The conductor shield is bonded
to the insulation – providing easy,
clean stripping
n The 90°C insulation has excellent
dielectric properties and is highly
resistant to heat, moisture
and ozone.
Ratings & Approvals
n ASTM B-33: Standard Specification for Tinned Soft or
Annealed Copper Wire for Electrical Purposes
n ASTM D2802: Standard Specification for OzoneResistant Ethylene-Alkene Polymer Insulation for Wire
and Cable
Application Note
Jumper cables should NOT be used in place of normal high voltage cables. They should
be isolated in areas where contact with people is limited. Because jumper cables cannot be
protected against prolonged contact with other conductors or grounds by shielding, these
cables must be positioned away from contact with grounds, transformer cases, cross-arms,
etc., to avoid possible high stress and capacitance leakage. Cables should be installed with at
least one cable diameter of separation between adjacent conductors and between conductors
and all metallic and/or electrically grounded parts. These cables are not intended for
permanent service.
