Is DLO cable tray rated?

DLO Cable in sizes 1/0 and larger is generally tray cable rated allowing for use in industrial facilities. DLO can be thought of as a very heavy duty welding cable due to the double jacket (or insulation and jacket) construction and will at times be used as welding cable especially for the high amperage systems.

Can DLO cable be used in conduit?

The cable is suitable for use in wet or dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs or trays, and where superior electrical properties are desired. The maximum continuous conductor temperature for normal operation is 90°C in wet or dry locations. DLO resists oils, acids, alkalines, heat, flame and has abrasion resistance.

What is the ampacity of a DLO cable?

The ampacity of a DLO cable depends on its ability to dissipate heat without damage to the conductor or its EPDM rubber insulation. DLO cable ampacity is a function of the insulation temperature rating, the electrical resistance of the conductor material, the ambient temperature, and the ability of the insulated conductor to dissipate heat.

What is the ampacity of diesal locomotive cable?

Diesal Locomotive Cable “Ampacity” is defined as the maximum current, in amperes, that a DLO Cable conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its 90C temperature rating. This is also described as dlo cable current rating, its current-carrying capacity.

What’s the minimum bending radius for DLO cable?

To prevent cable damage, cable standards such as The National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA) formed requirements for minimum bend radius. DLO Cable Bending radius: For fixed installation – minimum 4 x O.D., for flexible or temporary installation – minimum 6 x O.D. Diameter of the cable.

What does DLO stand for in railroading?

DLO Cable stands for “Diesel locomotive cables”or DLO Wire. DLO Cable was originally developed for wiring diesel-electric locomotive trains dating back before the 1920’s, over 100 years ago. Back then, these heavy duty 1kV and 2KV Diesel Locomotive cables were used as power-leads in traction motors.
