AmerCable Wire 10awg White Cable Features
Scope:
This specification describes single conductor crosslinked polyethylene (XLP or XLPE) Type RHW-2 and USE-2 for use at 600 volts or less. It is approved per the NEC for DIRECT BURIAL, general-purpose lighting, and power applications at a maximum continuous operating temperature of 90 degrees C in wet and dry locations. Note: VW-1 available when required.
Applicable Standards:
ASTM B-1, B-3, and B-8 for copper conductors. ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70, ICEA S-66-524/NEMA WC7 Cross Linked Polyethylene Insulated Wire&Cable, UL 854 for Service Entrance Cables (incl. Para. 854-38.7 for 300 hr. sunlight resistance) and UL 44 for Thermoset Insulated Wires & Cables, Fed Spec J-C-30B, FAA L-824 Type C 600V
Connductors:
The single copper conductors shall be solid or stranded annealed or hard uncoated copper per UL83 and ASTM requirements.
Insulation:
The conductor shall be insulated with XLP or XLP-VW-1 as specified and applied tightly to the conductor in a concentric manner. These conductors are “Oil and Gasoline Resistant II”. All black insulation is rated and identified “Sunlight Resistant”. The minimum at any point shall not be less than 90% of the specified average thickness in compliance with UL 44.
Identification:
The wire shall be identified in compliance with UL requirements by surface marking indicating the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol, and type designation.
