Construction:
- Conductor:Class B compressed stranded tinned copper per ASTM B33 and ASTM B8
- Insulation:Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Type XHHW-2
- Grounding Conductor:Class B compressed stranded tinned copper per ASTM B33 and ASTM B8
- Filler:Paper filler (cable size 8 & 6 uses Polypropylene filler)
- Binder:Polyester flat thread binder tape for cable sizes larger than 2 AWG

Applications and Features:
Southwire’s 600 Volt Type TC-ER 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. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. VW-1 rated
