Njengeentambo zamandla ezintathu okanye ezine ze-conductor zilinganiswe ngama-volts angama-600, i-90 deg.C. kwiindawo ezomileyo okanye ezimanzi.
Ivunyiwe ngokukodwa ukufakela kwiitreyi zentambo ngokweSiqendu 340 se-NEC.Uhlobo lweentambo ze-TC zivumelekile ukuba zisetyenziswe kwiCandelo loku-I kwiCandelo lesi-2 kwiindawo ezinobungozi zoshishino nge-NEC nganye.Iikheyibhile zinokufakwa kumoya osimahla, kwiindlela zomdyarho okanye kwindawo yokungcwaba ngokuthe ngqo, kwiindawo ezimanzi okanye ezomileyo.Zonke iintambo xa zisetyenziswe ngokuhambelana ne-NEC, zihlangabezana neemfuno ze-OSHA.
Umqhubi wentambo unokuba lubhedu okanye i-aluminium okanyeingxubevange aluminiyam.Inani lee-cores linokuba yi-1, 2, 3, kunye ne-4 kunye ne-5 (i-4 kunye ne-5 idla ngokuba yi-low-voltage cables).
Ukuxhotyiswa kwentambo kunokwahlulwa ibe yintsimbi yentsimbi kunye nentsimbi ye-tape yokuxhobisa, kunye nesixhobo sokuxhobisa esingenamagnetic esisetyenziswe kwintambo ye-AC eyodwa.
