Application & Features

Southwire's Romex® SIMpull® NMD90 cables may be used for both exposed work in dry locations or concealed work in dry or damp locations.
The maximum allowable conductor temperature is 90°C. The minimum recommended installation temperature is -25°C for two-conductor cables and -10°C for three-conductor cables (with suitable handling procedures). Material should be properly stored above 0°C for 24 hours prior to installation. The maximum voltage rating for all intended applications is 300 volts. Consult the Canadian Electrical Code for further information related to applications.

* Ampacity values based on Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 2024 Table 2 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in CEC Rule 14-104(2) of 15 A for 14 AWG Cu, 20 A for 12 AWG Cu, and 30 A for 10 AWG Cu (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding). See also CEC Rules 4-004 and 4-006 for additional requirements.
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
