Description / Abstract:
ANSI/NEMA HP 8 covers specific requirements for cross-linked,
modified polyolefin insulated solid and stranded wire designed for
the internal wiring of high-reliability electrical and electronic
equipment. ANSI/NEMA HP 8 addresses 600 V (Types LS, ZHDM, ZHDH,
and ZH) and 1000 V (Type ZHX) wire and permits continuous conductor
temperature ratings of -40ºC to 90ºC, 105ºC, or 125ºC with either
tin- or silver-coated conductors. These types of hook-up wire are
used when the following requirements are called for:
a) Moderate temperature resistance
b) Low temperature resistance
c) Good dielectric constant (Type ZHDM and ZHDH)
d) Moderate dielectric constant (Type LS)
e) Good flexibility and flex life when stranded conductors are
used
f) Solder iron resistance for easier solder terminations without
potential damage
g) Low smoke (Types LS, ZHDM, ZHDH, ZH, ZHX)
h) Zero halogen (Types ZHDM, ZHDH ZH, ZHX)
i) Low toxicity (Types LS, ZHDM, ZHDH, ZH, ZHX)
j) Low acid gas generation (Types LS, ZHDM, ZHDH, ZH, ZHX)
