In which type of locations must Type TC Cable be resistant to moisture and corrosive agents?

Type TC cable, also known as tray cable, is specifically designed for use in hazardous environments where moisture and corrosive agents may be present. This type of cable offers enhanced protection due to its construction, which includes robust insulation materials that can withstand the damaging effects of moisture and various chemicals.

Wet locations are particularly challenging because the presence of water can lead to electrical hazards. The need for proper insulation and protective measures against moisture is critical to ensure safety and functionality. Consequently, Type TC cable is suitable for use in these conditions, providing both the necessary durability and safety features required for installations in environments that experience exposure to water or other hazardous substances.

In contrast, dry, indoor, and outdoor locations do not explicitly require the same level of moisture and corrosive protection, as they tend to have less exposure to such conditions. Thus, while Type TC cable can be used in those areas, it is essential for applications where moisture and corrosive agents are a concern, solidifying its application in wet locations.
