What is difference between ACT armored cable and ac armored cable?

Southwire, a manufacturer of this type of cable defines ACT as a multiple conductor thermoplastic insulated cable with steel spiralled interlocking armour. The armour has the appearance of flexible conduit. AC cable is also known as BX cable. Common insulation materials thermoset and thermoplastic as used in AC cable. Type AC cable have different identifiers and insulation type. Type ACTHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type ACTH has 167 degree (75 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type AC has thermoset insulation. Type ACHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoset insulation.

What radius can Type ACT armored Cable be bent?

Type ACT armored cable should generally be bent with a minimum radius of 8 times the overall diameter of the cable. This ensures that the cable maintains its integrity and performance without risking damage to the armor or internal conductors. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise bending requirements specific to the cable type and application.

What is single core armored cable?

Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic. <><><> Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover. Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring. <><><> Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.
