ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable · 3 conductor 250 kcmil · 600V PVC jacketed AIA · Various Mfg. ACWU3C250
CSA ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable with 3 x 250 kcmil 8000 series aluminium conductors, XLPE insulation, aluminium interlocked armour, and black PVC jacket for 600V service. Commonly used for exposed or concealed wiring in wet or dry locations, cable tray, direct burial, and service entrance applications in Canada.
What this product is for
This ACWU90 cable is a 600V CSA armoured aluminium power cable for feeders and service wiring where mechanical protection and outdoor suitability are required. It is built with 3 x 250 kcmil 8000 series aluminium conductors, XLPE insulation, aluminium interlocked armour, and a black PVC outer jacket.
Use for
Use for exposed or concealed wiring in dry or wet locations, service entrance above or below ground, direct earth burial, and ventilated, non-ventilated, or ladder-type cable tray installations where ACWU90 is specified. This construction is also listed for hazardous locations under applicable CSA standards.
Avoid for
Avoid using this cable where a non-armoured conductor in conduit is required by design, where conductor size or ampacity does not match the load calculation, or where project specifications call for copper conductors, TECK90, or a different voltage class.
Best for
Best for commercial, industrial, utility, and large residential service or feeder runs where aluminium conductors help manage material cost and ACWU armour provides mechanical protection. Typical buying considerations are cable diameter, termination compatibility, and routing space in tray or entry points.
Installed in
Installed in buildings, service entrances, outdoor runs, buried feeds, and cable tray systems. Approximate overall diameter is 1.92 in (48.8 mm), so verify connector, gland, tray, and bending space before ordering.
Why this product exists
This cable provides a CSA-compliant armoured aluminium alternative for feeder and service distribution where conduit may be less practical or where direct burial and weather exposure are part of the installation. Aluminium conductors are commonly selected to reduce cable weight and material cost compared with equivalent copper sizes.
Compared with similar products
Compared with single conductors in conduit, ACWU90 combines insulated conductors, bonding conductor, armour, and outer jacket in one cable assembly. Compared with copper armoured cable, aluminium ACWU90 is typically lighter and more economical, but terminations must be rated for aluminium conductors. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, termination method, layout, and local electrical code.
