6/2 TECK90 Cable with Ground - 1000V Aluminum Interlocked Armor (AIA)

Engineered for harsh industrial and direct-burial applications, 6 AWG 2-Conductor TECK90 Cable delivers complete 1000V power and circuit protection without installing rigid conduit.

Featuring two stranded copper conductors, a #8 ground, dual PVC jackets, and flexible Aluminum Interlocked Armor (AIA), it is the ultimate direct-burial solution for 75A power circuits, subpanels, heavy motors, outdoor equipment, and cable trays.

Key Features & Benefits: 6/2 TECK90 1000V Cable

• Dual-Jacket Direct Burial Protection: The inner and outer lead-free PVC jackets isolate the interlocked aluminum armor from moisture, soil chemicals, and mechanical abrasion, allowing direct installation in open trenches or wet raceways.

• 1000V Heavy-Duty Rating: Built with RW90 XLPE thermoset insulation rated for applications up to 1000V and continuous operating temperatures from -40°C to +90°C in wet or dry locations.

• High-Capacity 75A Architecture: Features two stranded bare copper circuit conductors (6 AWG) and a 8 AWG bare copper ground wire for reliable single-phase power delivery.

• Flexible Interlocked Armor (AIA): The aluminum interlocked armor shields internal conductors from physical impacts, crushing, and soil shifts without sacrificing flexibility during tight pulls.

• Severe Weather & Hazardous Location Approved: Rated for -40°C cold impact and certified for hazardous locations (CSA C22.2 No. 174) and FT4 flame resistance.

DISCLAIMER: The technical information provided is for general reference only. Multi-conductor industrial armored systems must strictly comply with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), the National Electrical Code (NEC), and all applicable provincial or municipal enforcement safety mandates. Always verify official product submittal sheets and exact component metrics with your cable manufacturer before establishing trench depths, panel punching maps, or physical cable tray layouts.

Common 6 AWG 2C TECK90 Cable Use Cases

• Industrial Branch & HVAC Power: Delivers continuous 1000V or 600V single-phase power to industrial heaters, heavy-duty ventilation fans, mid-sized pumps, and automated manufacturing branch circuits.
• Direct Burial Sub-Feeders: Engineered for direct underground burial in soil trenches without secondary conduit protection, allowing simple, code-approved power runs to remote outbuildings, security gates, or outdoor equipment pads.
• Petrochemical & Hazardous Environment Routing: Extensively deployed in oil refineries, chemical plants, and grain elevators where its armor design handles the spark containment required for Class I, Division 1 and 2 explosive atmospheres.
• Corrosive & Wet Facility Installations: Ideal for wastewater treatment facilities, pulp and paper mills, and food processing wash-down regions because its inner and outer PVC jackets block moisture and chemical vapors.
• Commercial Signage & Infrastructure: Supplies reliable power to heavy commercial outdoor lighting grids, electronic billboards, and localized transport hubs requiring high mechanical protection.

Who Relies on 6 AWG 2C TECK90 Cable?

Commonly Served Industries

• Oil, Gas, & Chemical Processing: A standard choice for processing plants and oilfield infrastructure installations requiring durable, explosion-proof power links.
• Mining & Resource Extraction: Widely utilized in surface and underground mining facilities to power auxiliary processing gear, conveyors, and lighting panels under intense physical strain.
• Heavy Industrial & Infrastructure Construction: Factored into modern manufacturing mills, water treatment projects, and commercial structural layouts where high mechanical shielding is a priority.

Core Professionals & Buyers

• Industrial Electricians & Electrical Contractors: Field technicians who choose TECK90 to bypass the labor-intensive process of bending rigid conduit and pulling individual wires, pulling a single armored cable run instead.
• Electrical Engineers & Systems Designers: System specifiers who count on the 1000V-rated Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) core insulation to ensure superior thermal stability and electrical performance under varying production loads.
• Project Estimators & Industrial Buyers: Supply chain managers who purchase the aluminum interlocked armoring option over steel to lower freight shipping expenses and reduce structural load on overhead ladder trays.
• Electrical Safety & Code Inspectors: Field regulatory officers who look for compliant grounding configurations via the integrated bonding wire, ensuring safe, explosion-proof performance in specialized hazardous layout locations.
