RWU90 SIM 600 Str Cu We
SINGLE COPPER CONDUCTORS, XLPE INSULATION, 1000 VOLTS / -40ºC MIN, 90ºC MAX, SUNLIGHT RESISTANT.
Application
Southwire’s SIMpull ® RWU90 is designed for direct earth burial (with protection as required by the inspecting authority). For service entrance above or below ground.
- The minimum recommended installation temperature is minus 40°C (with suitable handling procedures).
- Maximum conductor temperature is 90°C.
- SIMpull ® RWU90 conductors feature SIM Technology jackets which reduces the coefficient of friction, allowing cables to be installed without external lubricants, resulting in reduced labour and materials costs.
