12/2C Solid Copper MC Lite IG THHN/THWN Insulation Aluminum Interlocked Armored Cable
Allowable Ampacity for 12/2C Solid Copper MC Lite IG THHN/THWN Insulation Aluminum Interlocked Armored Cable: 100 Amps
Applications:
Commercial, industrial, and multi-residential branch circuits and feeder wiring approved for MC cable applications requiring isolated, redundant, or dedicated grounding conductors. Suitable for power, lighting, control, and signal circuits, it can be installed in exposed or concealed locations, fished through walls, surface-mounted, embedded in plaster, routed in environmental air-handling spaces, open or messenger-supported aerial runs, and dry locations. Approved for hazardous locations up to Class I & II, Div. 2, and Class III, Div. 1 & 2, as outlined in NEC Articles 501, 502, 503, and 530, as well as in Places of Assembly. The cable features MC Lite interlocking silver aluminum armor with an isolated ground for added performance and reliability.
