“Designed for overhead branch circuit drops from busways to stationary or portable industrial machinery, 4/3 Bus Drop Cable 600V provides flexible, durable
power distribution in demanding manufacturing environments. Built with Class C stranded annealed bare copper conductors and three bare copper ground wires, this cable is enclosed in a rugged gray PVC jacket rated for 60C oil resistance and outdoor use. It features 90C wet/dry rated PVC insulation and passes the UL VW-1 flame test, making it ideal for machine tools, industrial control systems, and branch circuit connections.”

Key Features & Benefits: 4/3 Bus Drop Cable 600V

• Class C Stranded Bare Copper: Built with 19 strands of 4 AWG annealed bare copper for reliable flexibility and vibration resistance in overhead drops.

• Symmetrical 3-Ground Construction: Includes three 12 AWG bare copper ground wires cabled symmetrically alongside the circuit conductors to ensure balanced grounding protection.

• Oil & Weather Resistant Gray PVC Jacket: Tough gray PVC outer jacket rated for 60C oil exposure and approved for outdoor use.

• 90C Rated PVC Insulation: Polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation rated for continuous operation at 90C in wet or dry locations.

• Industrial Code Compliance: UL 509 Listed as Bus Drop Cable and approved for use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

• Cut-to-Length Flexibility: Available cut by the foot to match exact overhead drop heights and eliminate job-site waste.
