Insulation compound carries VW-1 (vertical wire flame) rating and FT2 (horizontal flame) rating and is sunlight-resistant (6 AWG and larger) in all colors.
1/0 AWG and larger are rated for CT use and comply with IEEE 1202/FT4 Flame Test.
When used as RHH or RHW-2, cable complies with ICEA T-29-520 (210,000 Btu/hr) Flame Test.
Construction:
Conductors:
Compact Stranded Conductors, Aluminum Alloy 8000 Series per ASTM B800; ASTM B801; ASTM B836
Insulation:
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) per UL-854. Sunlight-resistant in all colors 6 AWG and larger
Applications:
Type USE-2, RHH or RHW-2 cables with Aluminum Alloy 8000 Series conductors are suitable for use in conduit and raceways installed underground in wet locations, and where condensation and moisture accumulations within the conduit do not exceed 90 C.
Permitted for Type USE-2 per UL-854 for applications requiring direct burial.
For applications requiring Type RHH or RHW-2, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90 C in wet or dry locations.
Type USE-2, RHH, or RHW-2 is permitted for 600 volt applications.
