Electrical Cables for Boats

UL 1426

Scope

1.1 These requirements cover electrical cables for boats. The cables are intended for use in marine pleasure craft and consist of a single insulated conductor without a jacket or of two or more insulated conductors with or without an overall nonmetallic jacket. Each boat cable is rated as follows: 600 V; 60°C (140°F), 75°C (167°F), or 90°C (194°F) wet; and 60°C (140°F), 75°C (167°F), 90°C (194°F), or 105°C (221°F) dry. Boat cable dry-rated 125°C (257°F) or 200°C (392°F) may be investigated. A boat cable so marked has insulation (and jacket if a jacket is used) that is for use where exposed to oil at 60°C (140°F) and lower temperatures. Boat cables employ stranded copper conductors that are 18 – 4/0 AWG for multiple conductors and 16 – 4/0 AWG for single conductors.

1.2 The ampacity of a boat cable shall be as stated in the US Coast Guard regulations Title 33, Chapter I, Parts 183.430 and 183.435 of the CFR.

1.1 These requirements cover electrical cables for boats. The cables are intended for use in marine pleasure craft and consist of a single insulated conductor without a jacket or of two or more insulated conductors with or without an overall nonmetallic jacket. Each boat cable is rated as follows: 50 or 600 V; 60 C (140 F), 75 C (167 F), or 90 C (194 F) wet; and 60 C (140 F), 75 C (167 F), 90 C (194 F), or 105 C (221 F) dry. Boat cable dry-rated 125 C (257 F) or 200 C (392 F) may be investigated. A boat cable so marked has insulation (and jacket if a jacket is used) that are for use where exposed to oil at 60 C (140 F) and lower temperatures. Boat cables employ stranded copper conductors that are 18 – 4/0 AWG for multiple conductors and 16 – 4/0 AWG for single conductors.

1.2 The construction and performance details of single-conductor 50-volt cables are outlined in the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc. Standard for Battery Cable (SAE J1127), Low-Tension Primary Cable (SAE J1128), and Recommended Practice for Marine-Engine Wiring (SAE J378). The cables covered in the Standard are in compliance with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) Standard for Direct-Current (D-C) Electrical Systems on Boats (ANSI/ABYC E-9-1993). The marking and optional jacket requirements for 50-volt cables, and the complete construction, performance, and marking requirements for single- and multiple-conductor boat cables rated 600 volts are stated in these requirements.

1.3 The ampacity of a boat cable shall be as stated in the US Coast Guard regulations Title 33, Chapter I, Parts 183.430 and 183.435 of the CFR.
