Teflon jacketed motor lead
The construction of this pump cable exceeds the electrical and physical test parameters of UL standards 83 that covers a deep well submersible pump cable. They come with two or three wires.
The individual insulated primary conductors have a .032” insulation wall of Teflon (FEP) which meets the requirements of the NEC article 310-13 for type “ZW” wire suitable for use in wet locations, at 90°C. Teflon is routinely used for control, instrumentation and low voltage power cables in mass transportation systems, critical warning for chemical plants, nuclear facilities and various utility installations. Teflon insulated cables exhibit very high cut through and abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and continuous service temperatures of 150°C per UL.
This cable will perform its function in a very safe manner as long as the installation is done in accordance with the NEC article 500 methods and is used in a Class 1, Division 1, group C & D environment.
Due to the physical and electrical characteristics of Teflon, the above noted pump cable stands a very good chance of outliving the life expectancy of the pump to which it is attached.
