NMD90 Aluminum Cable Size and Conductor Count
NMD90 Aluminum Cable Size and Conductor Count reference with assumptions and boundary notes.
Reference boundary
Cable-marking reference only. Product markings, terminals, ampacity, and installation method are separate checks.
Reference table
Reference common NMD90 aluminum cable markings, current-carrying conductor counts, and bonding conductor notes.
| Cable marking | Current-carrying conductors | Bonding conductor | Typical catalogue context | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8/2 | 2 | bare aluminum bonding conductor | aluminum cable assembly reference | NMD90 aluminum marking reference only; product label and manufacturer data govern exact construction |
| 8/3 | 3 | bare aluminum bonding conductor | aluminum multi-conductor cable reference | NMD90 aluminum marking reference only; product label and manufacturer data govern exact construction |
| 6/2 | 2 | bare aluminum bonding conductor | larger aluminum cable assembly reference | NMD90 aluminum marking reference only; product label and manufacturer data govern exact construction |
| 6/3 | 3 | bare aluminum bonding conductor | larger aluminum multi-conductor cable reference | NMD90 aluminum marking reference only; product label and manufacturer data govern exact construction |
| 4/3 | 3 | bare aluminum bonding conductor | large aluminum cable assembly reference | NMD90 aluminum marking reference only; product label and manufacturer data govern exact construction |
Use notes
- Use this table for preliminary reference and arithmetic checks only.
- Confirm equipment ratings, product markings, installation conditions, utility requirements, and the local authority requirements before design or field use.
