Abstract :
Continuously corrugated welded (CCW) armored type cables, UL designated as Type MC-HL are being specified and used in all types of oil and gas, industrial, commercial, utility, installations to supply electrical power to motors, pumps, fans, and other equipment. A large percentage of these cables are extensively used in the petrochemical industry. Its use has become so wide spread that the National Electrical Code (NEC) has permitted its use in a variety of code articles. This paper will review the various advantages and uses, code articles, and the proper methods used when installing CCW armored cable.
