TECK90 • 8 AWG • 3 Conductor Copper • Sold Per Meter
8/3 TECK90 Armoured Copper Cable – 1000V Outdoor Feeder Wire for Sub-Panels, Equipment, Pumps, HVAC, Workshops & Direct Burial Runs
8/3 TECK90 cable is a rugged armoured copper cable designed for Canadian electrical installations requiring mechanical protection, wet-location durability, outdoor performance, and reliable feeder wiring.
Built for Canadian Outdoor & Feeder Wiring Jobs
This 8/3 TECK90 armoured copper cable is commonly used by electricians and contractors for feeder and equipment wiring where standard indoor cable is not suitable. Typical applications include detached garage feeds, workshop power, small sub-panels, pumps, compressors, HVAC equipment, outdoor disconnects, farm/agricultural power, and industrial or commercial equipment circuits.
The interlocked armour helps provide mechanical protection, while the outer jacket supports outdoor, wet-location, exposed, and direct burial applications when installed using approved fittings and methods.

FAQ
What is 8/3 TECK90 cable used for?
8/3 TECK90 is commonly used for outdoor feeders, detached garage feeds, workshop power, pumps, HVAC equipment, compressors, disconnects, and commercial or industrial equipment circuits.
Can 8/3 TECK90 be direct buried?
TECK90 cable is commonly used for direct burial applications where approved. Burial depth, warning tape, mechanical protection, transition points, and inspection requirements must be confirmed before installation.
Is 8/3 TECK90 suitable for wet or outdoor locations?
Yes, TECK90 cable is designed for wet and dry locations and is commonly used outdoors when installed with approved TECK connectors, fittings, and code-compliant methods.
Can 8/3 TECK90 be used for an EV charger?
It may be suitable for certain EV charger installations depending on charger amperage, breaker size, conductor ampacity, voltage drop, and local code. Many higher-output Level 2 EV chargers require larger conductors, so the installation must be verified by a licensed electrician.
Does TECK90 cable require conduit?
In many applications, the interlocked armour provides mechanical protection, but conduit or additional protection may still be required depending on location, burial transition, physical exposure, and local inspection requirements.
