Both
metal fittings (NSC) and green wires (NGL) are bonded to a coaxial shield
inside the cable. The cables will carry the high voltage secondary
power and will also provide a built in continuous ground path.
POWERFLEX™
is not GTO, it is Neon Sign Cable. It has been tested to meet the
standards required for GTO-15 and has also passed all tests required for
liquid-tight metallic conduit and fittings. These include, but are
not limited to: UV, water absorption, crush, flame, impact and shock
hazard tests.
The outer
yellow jacket of the POWERFLEX™ Neon Sign Cable can be painted
for aesthetic purposes.
POWERFLEX™
can be used in areas that do not require UL conformance and UL Listed signs
and will function perfectly with transformers that do not have ground fault
protection.
POWERFLEX™
Neon Sign Cable meets the requirements of the National Electric Code.
Section 600-32(a) of the NEC covers wiring methods for neon secondary circuits
over 1000 Volts. Neon Sign Cable has been specifically tested and
listed for the purpose of conducting secondary high voltage without being
enclosed in conduit and with no clearance requirements to the outer yellow
jacket.
Neon Sign Cable,
like GTO in metallic conduit, is restricted to leads no more than 20' long
from the transformer to the first electrode. It is recommended to
keep transformer leads under 10' when possible, especially when larger transformers
are used.
Neon
Sign Cables for up to 100' can be special ordered for virtual ground runs
or mid-point returns.
Each
POWERFLEX cable is a finished UL Listed product. All components of
the cable are UL Listed, and do not require individual UL marks.
