CU 600/1000V XLPE Insulation 50% Ground AIA PVC Jacket XHHW-2. CT Rated -Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free
Type MC Power Cable 600Volt Four Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation XHHW-2 Three Bare CU 50% Ground Aluminum Interlocked Armor (AIA), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Jacket. Silicone Free.
Application
Southwire’s 600 Volt Type MC 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 op- erating 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. The ground is sized to 50% of the phase conductor with three separate bare grounds one in each interstecie between condutors. Silicone Free.
