CU 2000V XLPE Insulation. RHH/RHW-2 PV

Single Conductor Photovoltaic (Type PV) Power Cable 2000 Volt Copper Conductor XLPE Insulation. Sizes 14 AWG through 1000 Kcmil. Heat, Moisture, Sunlight Resistant RoHS. 90°C

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 or ASTM B787
  2. Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). Colors available upon request.

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 2000 Volt power cables are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, direct burial, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. These cables are capable of operating continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation in wet and dry locations, 130°C for emergency overload, and 250°C for short circuit conditions.

Specifications:

  • ASTM B3 Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire
  • ASTM B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors
  • ASTM B787 19 Wire Combination Unilay-Stranded Copper Conductors
  • UL 44 Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables
