Details. 1-1/4 in anti short circuit bushings are used to create insulating barriers against sharp edges of flexible metal conduits that have been cut in the field. They protect wires passing through flexible metal conduits.Click to see full answer. Likewise, are Anti short bushings required?According to NEC® Article 320.40, an insulated (anti-short) bushing is required when installing Type AC cable. It is installed at the time of termination and designed to protect the conductors from damage. AFC provides bushings in bags packaged with the cable.Furthermore, what type of wire is in MC cable? MC cable contains conductors from 18 AWG through 2000 kcmil for copper and 12 AWG through 2000 kcmil for aluminum. Typical branch circuit Type MC cables have copper conductors with THHN, THHN/THWN or XHHW insulation and are suitable for circuits up to 600 volts. In this way, how often does MC need to be supported? MC cable must be supported every 6 ft. MC cable is considered supported when run through metal or wooden framing members. MC cables may be unsupported when (1) fished through concealed spaces in finished buildings, (2) when not more than 6 ft.What is the difference between MC and AC cable?The biggest difference between the two cable systems is that MC has full size ground wire while AC uses a combination of the jacket and a thin bonding strip or wire to function as the equipment ground. This type of MC Cable will have a continuous PVC outer jacket.
