SPEC 45502
1/C CU 2000V XLPE RHH/RHW-2 Power Cable
Power Cable 2000Volt Single Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation RHH/RHW-2

Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type RHH/RHW-2
Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 2000 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.
