Nexans AC90 ISO BX: Extended Ranges for Canadian Hospitals Now Available

February 7, 2025

AC90 ISO-BX is a 600V armoured cable (interlocked aluminum tape) with 2 or 3 XLPE-insulated solid copper conductors (RW90) + a green XLPE-insulated copper ground (RW90) + a bare copper bond.

Colour coding:
  • 2-conductor constructions: 1 black and 1 white circuit copper conductors, 1 green insulated copper grounding conductor, and 1 bare copper bonding conductor
  • 3-conductor constructions: 1 red, 1 black and 1 white circuit conductors, 1 green insulated copper groundeing conductor and 1 bare copper bonding conductor.
2024 CE Code, Part 1 (26th Edition) references:
  • 24-104 Circuits in basic care areas
  • 24-106 Bonding to ground in basic care areas
  • 24-112 Circuits in intermediate and critical care areas
  • 24-114 Bonding to ground in intermediate and critical care areas
Benefits:
  • For use in circuits where an isolated ground is required for minimizing the effects of harmonics and providing a low impedance path to ground.
  • Beneficial for special systems used for critical or sensitive equipment that need to be protected from electrical noise and interference.
  • Reduces the risk of ground loops and common mode voltages.
  • Ground loops can cause errors, distortion, and damage.
  • Common-mode voltages can cause shocks, fires and interference.
  • Improves performance and reliability of sensitive equipment and circuits.
  • Increases the accuracy, quality, lifespan, and safety of sensitive equipment and circuits.
  • Cost-effective alternative to installations in conduit.
Applications:
  • For exposed and concealed wiring in dry locations
  • For use in plenums
  • For use in ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder-type cable trays
  • For use in branch circuits for computers, cash registers and other electronics
  • For use in branch circuits for patient care areas in healthcare facilities
