William,
Cobra Wire & Cable, PO Box 790, Hatboro, PA (215) 674-8773 Haven't bought any in a while. Ed Jesko, sales. E-Mail: [email protected] UL listed flex cable. We have seen no problems with acid on this cable and have used it for years. Dave From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of William Miller Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 2:42 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Battery cable rating Friends: We are being required by a local building department to upgrade the type of battery cable we are using. We are using a cable listed by SAE for automotive applications. It is abrasion, acid and fuel resistant. We like the cable and think it is entirely adequate, but it does not have a UL listing. Examining cables supplied by OutBack and Xantrex, we see UL listings for MTW, THW or AWM. Regarding MTW and THW, the 2005 NEC indicates these wires do not have acid resistance as a property. Regarding AWM, it is apparently not intended for field installation as indicated by the passage found at this link: http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/offerings/industries/wireandcable/ Have any of you faced these issues? What cable are you using and where do you purchase it?
