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.

Specifications:

ASTM B3 Soft or Annealed Copper Wire

ASTM B8 Concentric-Lay-Stranded Copper Conductors

UL 44 Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables

UL 854 Service Entrance Cable

UL 1685 Vertical-Tray Fire Propagation and Smoke Release Test

ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70) Power Cables Rated 2000 Volts or Less for the Distribution of Electrical Energy
