Construction:

Conductor:Class B compact stranded 8000 Series aluminum per ASTM B800 and ASTM B836
Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type RHH/RHW-2 USE-2

Applications and Features:

Southwire’s 600 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. For uses in Class I, II, and III, Division 2 hazardous locations per NEC Article 501 and 502. CT Rated 1/0 and Larger - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free

Table 2 – Electrical and Engineering Data

Cond. Size	Cond. Number	Min Bending Radius	Max Pull Tension	DC Resistance @ 25°C	AC Resistance @ 75°C	Inductive Reactance @ 60Hz	Allowable Ampacity At 75°C	Allowable Ampacity At 90°C

1000	1	6.4	6000	0.018	0.025	0.037	445	500

*Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account 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 Reactance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing center-to-center.
