Diesel Locomotive Cable
DLO (Diesel Locomotive Cable) type is designed for use as motor and power leads where flexibility and portability are required. DLO cables are also suitable for use in wiring diesel-electric locomotives, railroad and transit cars, eartd moving equipment, offshore drilling rigs,storage batteries, charging equipment and in sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, flexible wiring for installation in conduit or tray per tde NEC.
ICEA S-75-381, Portable and Power Feeder Cables for use in Mines and Similar applications;ASTM B-33,ASTM B-172,ASTM B-174;UL 44;MSHA;CSA C22.2 No.38;ICEA S-95-658;NEMA WC70
DLO is especially suited to supply power to traction motors of diesel-electric locomotives.It is also recommended as a portable cable for drilling rigs, on-shore or off-shore, railroad and transit car wiring, electric earth-moving equipment, in shipyard applications, arc welder supply leads, power and control jumper cable, telcom power supply and motor leads. The cable is suitable for use in wet or dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs or trays, and where superior electrical properties are desired. The maximum continuous conductor temperature for normal operation is 90°C in dry locations and 75°C for wet. DLO resists oils, acids,alkalines, heat, flame, and has abrasion resistance.
Construction: Soft annealed tinned coated copper conductor,flexible stranding per AAR RP-588 and ASTM B3,B172,B174 as applicable,a suitable opaque tape as separator,flame retardant thermoset EPR insulation,black flame retardant thermoset CPE jacket.
