ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable · 4 conductor 250 kcmil · PVC jacket 600V · Various Mfg. ACWU4C250
What this product is for
This ACWU90 aluminium armoured cable is used for feeder and service wiring where a rugged 600V cable is needed for exposed or concealed runs in wet or dry locations. It is built with four compact aluminium conductors, a bare bonding wire, interlocked aluminium armour, and a PVC jacket.
Use for
Use for service entrance above or below ground, direct burial, cable tray installations, and general feeder distribution where CSA ACWU90 cable is specified. Common applications include commercial and industrial feeders, outdoor runs, and installations exposed to weather.
Avoid for
Avoid for applications requiring a different voltage class, conductor count, or copper conductors. Do not size from rule of thumb alone where neutral loading, ambient temperature, bundling, or termination temperature limits affect ampacity.
Best for
Best for contractors needing a Canadian ACWU90 aluminium feeder cable with mechanical protection from interlocked armour and added jacket protection for wet-location or direct burial work.
Installed in
Installed in exposed and concealed wiring, ventilated and non-ventilated cable trays, ladder tray, service entrance runs, and direct earth burial. Typical published dimensions for comparable 4C 250 kcmil ACWU90 construction are about 1.86 in OD (47.2 mm).
Why this product exists
ACWU90 exists to provide a field-ready armoured aluminium feeder cable for Canadian installations where moisture resistance, mechanical protection, and direct burial capability are required in one cable assembly.
Compared with similar products
Compared with non-armoured single conductors in conduit, ACWU90 can reduce additional raceway requirements in suitable installations. Compared with copper armoured cable, aluminium ACWU90 is commonly selected to reduce material cost and cable weight, while final conductor sizing must still follow the Canadian Electrical Code and equipment termination ratings.
