Question: A multi-conductor tray cable (TECK90) is being installed in a wet location in an industrial plant. The cable must be marked, identified, or tagged for its specific use. Which of the following is an acceptable marking for this application, according to the CEC?
Answer options:
- TECK90, XLPE, 600V, Wet Location Use
- TECK90, 600V, Max 90°C, AWG Size ✅ TECK90, FT4, 600V, Wet Location, -40°C
- TECK90, 90°C, PV (Photovoltaic) Rated
Correct answer: TECK90, FT4, 600V, Wet Location, -40°C
Explanation: Rule 12-1300 and Table 19 of the CEC indicate the markings required for cables. TECK90 is suitable for wet locations, and its approval for a low temperature such as -40°C is a common necessary rating. The FT4 rating indicates its flame spread rating, which is crucial for safety. The option 'Wet Location Use' is generic, and while XLPE is common insulation, 'FT4' is a specific marking required.
