ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable · 3 conductor 2/0 AWG · 600V PVC jacketed direct burial · Various Mfg. ACWU3C2/0
What this product is for
This ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable is used for feeder and service entrance installations in Canada where a 600V armoured cable is required for wet or dry locations. It is built with 3 stranded 2/0 AWG aluminium conductors, interlocked aluminium armour, and a PVC jacket for exposed, concealed, and direct burial applications.
Use for
- Service entrance above or below ground
- Direct earth burial where permitted
- Exposed or concealed feeder wiring
- Dry, damp, or wet locations
- Ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder-type cable trays
Avoid for
- Applications requiring a different conductor count or neutral configuration
- Installations where copper conductors are specifically required by design
- Runs where bending space, cable diameter, or termination size has not been checked
Best for
Best for commercial, industrial, agricultural, and service distribution work where electricians need a rugged aluminium feeder cable with armour and jacket protection. This format is commonly selected when direct burial capability or exposed outdoor routing is needed.
Installed in
Typically installed in service entrance runs, outdoor feeders, equipment feeds, tray installations, and underground distribution. Approximate overall diameter is listed around 1.30 in to 1.55 in (33 to 39 mm) depending on source listing, so verify connector and bending space before ordering.
Why this product exists
ACWU90 gives contractors a CSA armoured aluminium cable option for wet-location and underground work without needing a separate raceway in many applications. Compared with copper feeder cable, aluminium is commonly chosen to reduce material weight and cost on longer runs.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard indoor armoured cable, ACWU90 is intended for wet locations and direct burial. Compared with single conductors in conduit, it can reduce installation steps in suitable applications. As typical distributor guidance, 2/0 AWG 3-conductor ACWU listings are often shown around 150A, but actual allowable ampacity depends on termination temperature ratings, installation method, ambient conditions, and the Canadian Electrical Code.
Actual performance depends on installation conditions, insulation, layout, and local electrical code.
