APPLICATIONS
Southwire Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit or recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring as specified in the National Electrical Code. XHHW-2 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 volts. Suitable for use in Health Care Facilities per section 517.160 of the NEC where a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less may be specified. This product in sizes 500kcmil and larger is designed to be installed without the application of pulling lubricant.
AL-RHH or RHW or USE
- Underground Service Entrance Cable. 600 Volt.
- AlumaFlex®Aluminum Alloy (AA-8176) Conductor.
- Cross-linked Polyethylene(XLP) Insulation.
- High-Heat, Moisture, and Sunlight Resistant.
- Rated SIS in #8 – 4/0 AWG.
APPLICATIONS
Southwire Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 conductors are used with conduit as specified in the National Electrical Code. When used as Type USE-2, conductors are suitable foruse as underground service entrance conductors for direct burial, at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C. When used as RHH, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90°C in dry locations. When used as RHW-2 or USE-2, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90°C in wet or dry locations. Voltage rating for RHW-2 or RHH or USE-2 conductors is 600 volts.
Aluminum Type MC-XHHW
- 600 Volt.
- TRIPLE E Aluminum Alloy (AA-8176) Conductors.
- Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLP) Insulated Singles Rated XHHW-2.
- Bare TRIPLE E Aluminum Alloy Ground.
- Interlocked Aluminum Armor.
APPLICATIONS
Southwire Type MC Cable is primarily used for services, feeders, and branch circuits as specified in the 2011 National Electric Code. Type MC cable with Type XHHW-2 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 volts.
Aluminum SE Cable
- Type SE, Style SER and SEU Service Entrance Cable
- 600 Volt. AlumaFlex® Aluminum Alloy (AA-8176) Conductors
- Individual Conductors Rated XHHW or THHN/THWN
- Jacket and Inner Conductors are Sunlight Resistant
APPLICATIONS
Southwire Type SE, service entrance cable is used to convey power from the service drop to the meter base and from the meter base to the distribution panelboard; however, it may be used in all applications where Type SE cable is permitted. SE may be used in wet or dry above ground locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C. The voltage rating is 600 volts.
SIMpull THHN® Cable with AlumaFlex® Conductors
- AlumaFlex® Aluminum (AA-8176) Conductor
- Thermoplastic Insulation / SIM Nylon Sheath
- Heat, Moisture, Gasoline, and Oil Resistant II, Sunlight Resistant
- Also Rated THWN-2
- SIM Technology® for Easier Pulling
APPLICATIONS
Southwire SIMPULL THHN cable with AlumaFlex conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the 2011 National Electrical Code. When used as Type THHN, or T90 Nylon conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. When used as Type THWN-2 or TWN75, conductor is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C or not to exceed 75°C when exposed to oil or coolant. Voltage for all applications is 600 volts. This cable should be installed without application of pulling lubricant.
