USE-2 / RHH / RHW-2 EPR/CPE Copper Conductor 600V, 90°C Wet or Dry
CU UL RHH/RHW-2 USE-2 600V
Applications
Recommended for use in all low voltage circuits where continuity of service is the prime consideration. These cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors, in raceways, underground ducts, directly buried in the earth, or lashed to a messenger for aerial installation. These cables may also be installed in cable tray (size 1/0 7mÊÓƵ and larger per NEC 392.2). For use in free air, raceways or direct burial in accordance with NEC.
Specifications
Conductor: Uncoated copper solid per ASTM-B-3, compress stranded per ASTM B-8, or compact per ASTM B-496. Insulation: Meets or exceeds all requirements of ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC-70 and UL Standards 44 and 854. Jacket: CPE. Listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2, VW-1. Sizes 1/0 7mÊÓƵ and larger are also marked "sunlight resistant, for use in cable tray." Listed by CSA as RW-90, -25C, FT1 (1/0 and larger FT4), outdoor.
Product Features
These ampacities are based on single conductor in free air, 40 ºC ambient air temperature, 90 ºC conductor operating temperature.
