Construction:

Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type XHHW-2
Grounding Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8. (When present, cable conductor sizes 8 & 6 AWG have an insulated green ground)
Filler:Paper filler (cable size 8 & 6 uses Polypropylene filler)
Binder:Polyester flat thread binder tape for cable sizes larger than 2 AWG
Overall Jacket:Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 600 or 1000 Volt Type TC-ER 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. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free
