SPEC 45502
CU 2000V XLPE Insulation Type RHH/RHW-2. 600V Type USE-2
Power Cable 2000 Volt Single Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation for Type RHH/RHW-2 and 600 Volt for Type USE-2
Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type RHH/RHW-2
Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 2000 Volt power cables RHH/RHW are suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays, aerial supported by a messenger, and where superior electrical properties are desired. Can be used in direct burial applications at 600 Volt. 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.
