SPEC 22064
1/C CU 1000V RWU90
Single Copper Conductors, XLPE Insulation, 1000V / -40ºC MIN, 90ºC MAX, Sunlight Resistant
Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
Applications and Features:
Southwire’s RWU90 is designed for direct earth burial (with protection as required by the inspecting authority). For service entrance above or below ground. The minimum recommended installation temperature is minus 40°C (with suitable handling procedures). Maximum conductor temperature is 90°C. Note: Standard black is sunlight resistant and marked "SR". Standard coloured insulation is not sunlight resistant.
