Construction:

Conductor:Stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 or ASTM B787
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

UL 4703 Standard for Photovoltaic Wire

Buy American: Compliant with Buy American Requirements, found in 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j); specify “Made in the USA Only!” when ordering to ensure your project receives American made products.
