Cable Solutions
Efficiency in Automation - A reflection of
our company philosophy

As an experienced specialist in automation technology,

with solutions for flexible and high flexing cables, cable
assemblies, interfaces, current control and cabinet wiring,
we have had a focus on efficiency for many years.

Connectivity Solutions LÜTZE defines Efficiency in Automation as the use of

sustainable products and solutions to further increase
the performance of our products in our
customers applications.

We realise this by using components for highly efficient

control systems, products with above average life cycles
and raising energy efficiency in control cabinets by
means of the LSC wiring system.

Cabinet Solutions Efficiency in Automation reflects our efforts in striving

for efficient working relationships with our customers:
in a medium sized family owned company we have
short communcation channels and a high level of
manufacturing competence.

The value of a product or a solution from LÜTZE is

determined by its sustainable qualities. Every innovation
will only be successful in the future if it has a long term
positive effect. Therefore, we provide long lasting as
Control Solutions well as highly efficient components.

Thus LÜTZE creates value through efficiency. LÜTZE

provides answers and demonstrates how to handle
resources responsibly, with our environment and our
future in mind. LÜTZE - Efficiency in Automation

 Business Management:
Sustainable and forw a

The future is blue

Sustainable enterprise means
thinking and planning ahead,
understanding and embedding
the belief that long lasting success
is more important than short-term
profit maximisation.
This is an attitude that has existed
within LÜTZE for quite some time.
Economic and environmental
responsibilities complement each
other well and are reflected in the
sustainable management and
product policy - and from now in
the SkyBLUE campaign.
We manufacture our products in a
resourceful and energy-conscious
manner. We use long lasting,
environmentally-friendly materials.
And our products, in turn, help
our customers save energy and
resources.
Good for everyone: for us, for the
environment, for our customers a
win-win-win situation.

How North American codes and
standards affect your choice of cables
NEC, NFPA 79 and UL 508A
The National Electrical Code (NEC)
is providing rules and regulation for
electrical applications. It also refer-
red to as NFPA 70. This code
covers the electrical installation for
many areas such as public and pri-
vate premises, buildings etc.
The NEC is created and updated
every three years by a technical
committee consisting of NFPA mem-
bers and industry experts. It is pos-
sible that different States are on dif-
ferent versions of the NEC as the
timeframe to adopt a new code may
vary from State to State. Once a
State adopted the NEC it becomes
a rule that must be followed. The
NEC will only recognize and allow
the use of listed cables or cords for
field wiring connections.
NFPA 79 is the electrical standard
for industrial machinery in the
USA. It covers the electric or elec-
tronic equipment of electrical machi-
nery from a nominal voltage of 600
volts or less. The NFPA 79 standard
has provisions regarding wiring
practices that represent best practi-
ce. NFPA 79 makes reference to UL

Listed cable but has a special provi-
sion for “recognized component
wiring” in article 12.9.
UL 508A is a standard for industrial
control panels covering the enclosu-
re as well as the panel in applicati-
ons operating from a voltage of 600
volts or less. UL 508A makes refe-
rence to UL Listed cable but has a
special provision for “recognized
component wiring” in article 29.2.
NEC - Regulates the field level
NFPA 79 - Regulates the machine level
UL 508A - Regulates the cabinet level
Codes and standards are not the same. A stan-
dard represents a principle or a model in how
something is being done.
You could call it a “best practice”. Standards are
also defined as a level of quality or attainment and
allow comparative evaluations.
A code goes a step further and represents a law
or regulation that must be followed when it is
given statutory force.
The NEC is not federal law but is enforced by
adoption by state or municipality.
Electrical wiring in the USA is regulated by the
National Electric Code also referred to in short as
the NEC. The NEC will make a reference to many
different standards.
Approvals for North America

Product certifications in North America will often be conducted by the National Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL). The
NRTLs are determined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). You can find a list of the current NRTLs on
www.osha.gov.

LÜTZE mainly uses Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to certify the products. UL (USA) and CSA (Canada) have an agreement that
allows the usage of one certification for both USA and Canada.

In general there are two main certification classes:

Certification Logos Meaning

UL Recognized „UL Recognized“ signifies that the product is rated as a component. A component
is a part of an application. Cables with an „Appliance Wiring Material“ (AWM per
Standard 758) are always „recognized“. Typically these cables are already
installed on the machine when it ships.

UL Listed „UL Listed“ signifies a cable as actually tested and proven for a specific use. This
way the cable has to match the UL Standards and the requirements of the
National Electric Code (NEC). Typically, cables with a UL Listing are used for field
wiring in North America.

Common „UL Listings“ for industrial cables:

UL Listing type Description Meaning

CM Communication Cables for data communication per UL category DUZX and NEC 800
CMG Communication General Cables for data communication per UL category DUZX and NEC 800
CMX Communication Residential Cables for data communication with restrictions per UL category DUZX and NEC 800
PLTC Power Limited Tray Cable Cables for tray applications per UL category QPTZ and NEC 725
PLTC-ER Power Limited Tray Cable Cables for tray applications per UL category QPTZ and NEC 725 (exposed use possible)
Exposed Run
ITC Instrumentation Tray Cable Instrumentation cables for tray applications per UL category NYTT and NEC 727
ITC-ER Instrumentation Tray Cable Instrumentation cables for tray applications per UL category NYTT and NEC 727 (exposed use possible)
Exposed Run
TC Power and Control Tray Cable Power and control cables for tray applications per UL category QPOR and NEC 336
TC-ER Power and Control Tray Cable Power and control cables for tray applications per UL category QPOR and NEC 336 (exposed use possible)
Exposed Run
MTW Machine Tool Wire Single or multi conductor control cables for Machine Tool Wiring per UL category ZKHZ and NEC 670
Flexible VFD and Servo Flexible VFD and Servo aka Power cables for motor and variable frequency drive applications per UL category ZJFH
Flexible Motor Supply Cable
WTTC Wind Turbine Tray Cable Power and control cables for wind turbine applications per UL category ZGZN
This list only shows the common UL Listings for typical applications in the field of automation and does not stand for a complete overview of the current UL Listings.

It is possible to combine different UL Listings in one cable. LÜTZE offers a variety of cables with UL Listings for various industrial
applications.

Use of certifications:
Code / Standard Use Permissible cables
NEC Field level UL Listed only

NFPA 79 Machine level UL Listed and/or UL Recognized if in compliance with NFPA 79 12.9

UL 508A Cabinet level UL Listed and/or UL Regognized if in compliance with UL 508a 29.2

In order to use recognized AWM type cable in compliance with NFPA 79 paragraph 12.9 or UL 508A paragraph 29.2 the machine
builder must assure and document, that the selected cable is suitable for the application. The suitability can be checked easily by
matching the UL AWM style to the application. The UL AWM styles provide, among other things, information about the materials
and wall thickness of a cable.

Example: AWM 2587 describes a 600V 90°C cable with PVC jacket for external wiring.
The actual use, for example, may not exceed the rated voltage of this cable. Typical rated voltages for AWM cables are 30, 300,
600 and 1000V.
