What does SJOW cord mean?
SJOW Cable Overview SJOW stands for: S = Service Cord (600 Volts) J = Junior Service Cord (300 Volts) O = Oil Resistant outside jacket. W = CSA designation for weather/water resistance.
What size so cord is rated for 50 amps?
In most cases, 6 AWG is an almost perfectly-sized wire for a 50 amp breaker. In limited cases, you will probably have to use a larger 4 AWG wire. That’s when you have a long circuit and are sending electrical current at some distance (100 feet or more).
How many amps is 4/4 SO Cord good for?
New Weight lb/1000FT: 851 Lbs. Amps: 60. Volts: 600.
What is the allowable ampacity of Soo 14 3 cord?
These cables are rated for a voltage of 600 volts, an amperage of 18 amps, have a temperature range of -40° to 90°, and weighs approximately 170 lbs/MFT.
What size so cord is good for 100 amps?
As we can see, the #3 AWG wire might have 100A ampacity but it should only be used in circuits that require 80 amps or less. With the 80% NEC rule, the best wire size for 100 amp service is #1 AWG.
How many amps will 4 AWG carry?
4 gauge wire cross-section is 21.2 mm2. With such a cross-section and 4.89 turns of wire per inch, this kind of wire can handle quite a lot of amps. It has a rated ampacity of 85 amps at 75°C. This means that, for average use, the 4 gauge wire can handle up to 85 amps safely.
What is the ampacity table for cables?
(A) Ampacity Tables. Table 400.5(A)(1) provides the al- lowable ampacities, and Table 400.5(A)(2) provides the am- pacities for flexible cords and cables with not more than three current-carrying conductors.
What is SjoW power cable?
Any SJOW RFQs will be quoted as SJOOW. The SJOW power cable uses extra flexible stranded copper conductors with a separator and colour coded vulcanized synthetic free-stripping EP rubber insulation cabled with filler, separator, and overall jacket. SOW sizes 18, 16, 14, 12 & 10 AWG also MSHA listed.
What are the specifications of the service cord on a SjoW?
SJOW Service Cord Specifications. 1 Conductor: Stranded Bare Copper. 2 Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Rubber (EPDM) 3 Jacket: Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
What is ampacity of wire?
Wire Size & Amp Ratings Ampacity is the maximum current that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. Current is measured in amperes or “amps.” You must use the correct size wire for the current (load) requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from overheating.
