Construction:

Conductor:Flexible stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B173 or flexible tinned copper per ASTM B33.
Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE).

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 Soft or Annealed Copper Wire

ASTM B173 Rope-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors Having Concentric-Stranded Members

UL 44 Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables

UL 4703 Standard for Photovoltaic Wire

Made in America: Compliant with both Buy American and Buy America Act (BAA) requirements per 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j) and the Federal Transit Administration Buy America requirements per 49 C.F.R. part 661
