In order to deliver the energy required to light high intensity lights, lamps, and beacons, a careful selection of wire and cable is required The electrical wire delivering the charge to this system and its connection to the lamp play a vital role and work in harmony with each other to ensure circuit integrity and lights always illuminated. Many electrical wire and cable considerations include: Voltage rating, temperature rating, shielding, oil and moisture resistance, Standards Agency Requirements, armor requirements, routing considerations, UV resistance etc. lengths of cable, cable weight and finished diameter, voltage drop, etc. Sound cable design considerations, and the use of high quality state of the art insulating materials, coupled with solid American Craftsmanship greatly positively influence the cables performance. Thermal Wire has had great success with the following 3 cable types: Hybrid Retractable systems Stationary Shielded Power and Control Cables

Sound cable design considerations, and the
use of high quality state of the art
insulating materials, coupled with solid
American Craftsmanship greatly positively
influence the cables performance.
Thermal Wire has had great success with
the following 3 cable types:
Hybrid
Retractable systems
Stationary Shielded Power and Control Cables

2. Careful selection of high temperature insulating
materials, conductor materials, shielding and armor
are required to construct a cable that meets all the
application demands. Think of it as a “build a bear’
cable component system selection. The Thermal
team can discuss your needs and combine many
different components into a factory assembled
cable, with or without armor.
Optional core elements:
• 200°C twinax cables
• 200°C shielded pairs
• 300°C ECA 3000 insulation and jacket
• 450°C leads and power wires
• CE Certification
• 200°C leads and power wires
• Interlocked galvanized armor jacketed with 200°C FEP
• Interlocked aluminum armor jacketed with 200°C FEP
• Continuously welded and corrugated aluminum or stainless
steel
• 1000V leads and power wire

3. Retractable Aircraft Warning Light
Systems
 Personnel seeking Aircraft warning light access, had
been challenged prior to the use of our special
retractable cable that acts as a flexible power
cable. This cable and system allows the operator to
access the flare while its still in service. Prior to this
technology, workers requiring access to the flare
while its in operation was dangerous. Now the lights
can be lowered and raised at grade while the flare is
in operation. Thermal ACWL Cable is flexible, high
temperature, and resistant to the elements one
would expect.

4. 200°C (392°F) Retractable ACWL Unshielded
Cable FEP Insulation/Silicone Rubber Jacket 600V
This group of cables is designed for retractable aircraft warning light systems or similar
applications requiring a flexible 200°C power cable.
 UL Recognized per UL 83 and Subject 758
 Silicone Rubber jacket material enhances cables bend and flex technology
 Primary insulation FEP Fluoropolymer offers reduced size and reduced coefficient of
friction
 Fiberglass free construction;
 Round, non-convoluted design
Options:
 Stainless steel overbraid; Galvanized interlocked steel or aluminum armor; Stainless
steel continuously welded and corrugated armor. 200°C/250°C/300°C non-conductive
outer jacket is optional
 Shielded pairs/triads and overall single or dual shields
 250°C version

6. Stationary Aircraft Warning Light
Systems
 In many installations, one way to achieve proper cable management
is to use armored, metal-clad and other permitted cable types
installed in cable trays wherever practical. While the initial cost of
the cable may be higher than non-armored cables protected by
conduit, the labor time and cost of a cable tray installation can be
much lower. That’s because working with conduit and pulling wires is
extremely labor-intensive. And in hazardous locations, there’s also
the work of installing and inspecting sealing fittings.
 Many types of cable trays are commercially available. The most
commonly used is the “ladder” type, which provides excellent
ventilation and drainage, and is affordable and easy to work with.
Other styles are available to accommodate specific needs – such as a
solid-bottom design to support heavy cables. Since cable trays are
intended to support the cable, not protect it, they should only be
used with the wiring methods and procedures detailed in NEC Article
392. The use of high performance insulating systems that are not
only sunlight resistant but are resistant to most chemicals known to
man.

7. 200°C (392°F) Stationary ACWL Cable
FEP UL Tray Cables 600V
