Construction:

  1. Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
  2. Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) with SIMpull® Technology. Silicone-Free, Abrasion, High-Heat, Moisture Resistant

Applications and Features:

APPLICATION
Southwire Copper SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 conductors are primarily used in conduit, cable tray or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring. SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 copper conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Southwire Copper SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 conductors are designed to be installed without the application of pulling lubricant.
Voltage rating for XHHW-2 is 600 volts or 1000 volts for sizes 8 and larger. Type XHHW-2 is 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.
Voltage rating for RW90 is 600 volts. RW90 is suitable for use in open wiring and use in raceways (except cable troughs and ventilated flexible cableways) in dry or wet locations as per Canadian Electrical Code. For open wiring exposed to the weather.

    *Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not consider the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding if size is present in table). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
    * Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
    *Ampacities derived from the 2021 Canadian Electrical Code. - Table 2 - for Raceway or Cable. Not more than 3 copper conductors on an ambient temperature of 30°C.
