SPEC45253 CU 600/1000V XLPE Insulation Thermoplastic CPE-TP Jacket XHHW-2. CT Rated - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free
Type TC-ER Power Cable 600Volt Three Conductor Copper, Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation XHHW-2 Thermoplastic Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE-TP) Jacket with 1 Bare CU Ground. CT Rated - Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free
Application
Southwire’s 600 Volt Type TC-ER 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 operating 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. Constructions with 3 or more conductors are listed for exposed runs (TC-ER) per NEC 336.10. Sunlight Resistant - For Direct Burial - Silicone Free
