SPEC 48203 1/C CU 2000V NL-EPR RHH/RHW-2 Thermoset SOLONON LSZH-TS TRACTION POWER CABLE
Traction Power Cable 2000 Volt Single Conductor Copper, No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) insulation RHH/RHW-2 Thermoset SOLONON® Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH-TS) Jacket
Application
Southwire 2000V No Lead NL-EPR/SOLONON Traction Power Cable is suited for use in mass transit and general industry applications where flexibility, fire resistance, and low smoke generation are a concern. May be installed in wet or dry locations in cable trays or raceways. These cables are capable of operating continuously at a conductor temperature not in excess of 90°C for normal operation, 130°C for emergency overload conditions, and 250°C for short circuit conditions. Resistance to moisture and most oils, acids, and alkalis with an overall durable LSZH XLPO jacket. Meets Flame Spread and Smoke Release requirements of NFPA 130. Rated for 1000 lbs./FT maximum sidewall pressure. Alternate constructions available upon request.
