RWU90 SIMpull® Copper
SINGLE COPPER CONDUCTORS, XLPE INSULATION, 1000 VOLTS / -40ºC MIN, 90ºC MAX.
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.

All Ampacities derived from the 2012 Canadian Electrical Code
* See Rule 14-104 in the 2012 Canadian Electrical Code
** Derived from Table D12A in Appendix D of the CE Code as per Triplex cable formation as shown in Diagram B4-3 in Appendix B - for Non-Continuous loads. Based on an ambient temperature of 20°C
† Derived from Table 2 of the CE Code for Cable in Conduit. Not more than 3 copper conductors in a raceway. Based on an ambient temperature of 30°C
†† For 3-wire 120V/240V and 120V/208V service conductors in single dwellings, see notes under CEC Table 2. Allowable ampacity shall not be greater than 60 amps for No. 6 AWG nor greater than 200 amps for No. 2/0 AWG
