CU 2000V EPR RHH/RHW-2 Thermoset LSZH-TS TRACTION POWER CABLE

Traction Power Cable 2000 Volt Single Conductor Copper, Composite Insulation Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) RHH/RHW-2 and Thermoset SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TS)

...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3, B8, and/or B33. Center strand embossed with “Southwire, Year, Plant” when required
  2. Binder Tape:Mylar Tape
  3. Insulation Inner Layer:Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Type RHH/RHW-2
  4. Insulation Outer Layer:Thermoset SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TS)

Applications and Features:

Southwire 2000V EPR/SOLONON Traction Power Cable is suited for use in mass transit and general industry applications where flexibility, fire resistance, and low smoke generation are a concern. May be installed in wet or dry locations in cable trays or raceways. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Resistance to moisture and most oils, acids, and alkalis with an overall durable LSZH XLPO outer insulation. Meets Flame Spread and Smoke Release requirements of NFPA 130. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure. Alternate constructions available upon request.
