Waterproof XLPE OFC Copper/Aluminum Alloy Cable Wire for Underground Electric System

Product Description

Product Description

CONSTRUCTION

• Conductor:
Annealed Copper or 8000 series Aluminum Alloy
 
• Insulation: 
 XLPE
 Insulation is an abrasion, moisture, heat, and sunlight resistant black crosslinked polyethylene.

An optional CT rated product is available upon request for sizes 1/0 and larger.

APPLICATION

FEATURE

Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 conductors are used with conduit as specified in the National Electrical Code. When used as Type USE-2, conductors are suitable for use as underground service entrance conductors for direct burial at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C. When used as RHW-2 or USE-2, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90°C in wet or dry locations. Voltage rating for RHW-2 or RHH or USE-2 conductors is 600 volts.

Conductor for reduced diameter

General purpose use in construction:

 Residential

 Commercial

 Institutional

 Industrial construction

Product Details
