SPEC 10006
Copper SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90
Conductor size 8 AWG and larger. Power Cable 600 or 1000 Volt Single Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) with SIMpull technology for easier pulling.
Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) with SIMpull technology
Applications and Features:
APPLICATION
Southwire® SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 copper conductors are primarily used in conduit, cable tray or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring, as specified in the National Electrical Code. SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 copper conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 volts or 1000 volts for all sizes. Suitable for use in Health Care Facilities per Section 517.160 of the National Electrical Code where a dielectric constant of less than 3.5 maybe specified. This cable is designed to be installed without the application of pulling lubricant. RW90 is for open wiring and use in raceways (except cabletroughs and ventilated flexible cableways) in dry or wet locations as per Canadian Electrical Code. For open wiring exposed to the weather.
FEATURES
