RHH or RHW, EPR/XLPO, 600 Volt

Application

600 Volt EPR/XLPO Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 is suited for use in mass transit and general industry applications where flexibility, fire resistance, and low smoke generation are concerns. May be installed in wet or dry locations (including direct burial for size AWG 8 and larger) in cable trays or in 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 circuit conditions.

Compliances

  • UL 44 - Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables
  • UL 1581 - UL Flame Exposure Test (VW-1)
  • UL 1685 - UL Flame Exposure Test
  • ICEA S-68-516 (NEMA WC8)
  • RoHS
