Power Limited Circuit Cable Form 3

Use class 3 circuits when the power demand for circuits over 30v exceeds 0 5va but is not more than 100va chapter 9 table 11.

Power limited circuit cable form 3.

Any circuit that is above 30v or 100 va is considered not to be power limited even if there is a protection device like a fuse or circuit breaker. That makes sense when talking about power limited circuits. What i am asking about is when power limited is part of the cable description. They are considered to be a special condition other than a normal power circuit.

The national electrical code nec class 2 and class 3 covers remote control signaling and power limited circuits covered by chapter 7 in article 725. Class 1 2 and 3 circuits are classified as remote control signaling and power limited circuits in the national electrical code nec. You can wire class 2 circuits with class 2 cable or any of its substitutes permitted by table 725 61 a depending on the condition of use. In class 2 and class 3 systems either the voltage or the current depending upon circuit design is limited to a level that will not cause a fire and under.

This is a 2 pair 16 awg shielded cable from belden. The wiring has to be good enough for the type of circuit. If the power source is power limited the circuit is power limited. Wiring is it power limited or non power limited.

For lv what you are asking about is class 2 power limited circuits which according to the nec means voltages of less than 30 volts and power of less than 100 va. If the power source isn t limited the circuit is non power limited. I want to use this cable to supply two ac circuits to a remote location in the machine.
