§183.435. Conductors in circuits of 50 volts or more.

33 C.F.R. § 183.435

(a)
Each conductor in a circuit that has a nominal voltage of 50 volts or more must be:
(1)
A conductor that has insulation listed and classified moisture resistant and flame retardant in Article 310, NFPA No. 70, National Electric Code;
(2)
A flexible cord type SO, STO, ST, SJO, SJT, or SJTO listed in Article 400, NFPA No. 70, National Electric Code;
(3)
A conductor that meets IEEE Standard 45.
(4)
A conductor that meets UL Standard 1426.
(b)
Where the nominal circuit voltage of each of three or more current carrying conductors in a duct, bundle, or cable is 50 volts or more, the amperages of each of those conductors must not exceed the value in table 5 multiplied by the correction factor in note 2 to Table 5 for the number of conductors that carry 50 volts or more.
(c)
This section does not apply to communication systems; electronic navigation equipment; resistance conductors that control circuit amperage; conductors in secondary circuits of ignition systems; and pigtails of less than seven inches of exposed length.
