APPLICATION
Southwire Copper SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 conductors are primarily used in conduit, cable tray or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring. SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 copper conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. Southwire Copper SIMpull XHHW-2®/RW90 conductors are designed to be installed without the application of pulling lubricant.
Voltage rating for XHHW-2 is 600 volts or 1000 volts for sizes 8 and larger. Type XHHW-2 is suitable for use in Health Care Facilities per Section 517.160 of the National Electrical Code where a dielectric constant of less than 3.5 maybe specified.
Voltage rating for RW90 is 600 volts. RW90 is suitable for use in open wiring and use in raceways (except cable troughs and ventilated flexible cableways) in dry or wet locations as per Canadian Electrical Code. For open wiring exposed to the weather.
