SPEC: 22053
6-2 CU BLACK NMWU W/G CSA 2953 FT
Southwire #: 48127504
Application & Features
Southwire's CSA-NWMU cables may be used for underground installations, including direct burial. It may also be used for environments exposed to the weather in dry and wet locations. The maximum allowable conductor temperature is 60°C. The minimum recommended installation temperature is -40°C for two-conductor cables (sizes AWG 14 to AWG 6) and -25°C for all other sizes. For three-conductor cables the minimum recommended installation temperature is -10°C (with suitable handling procedures). Material should be properly stored above 0°C for 24 hours prior to installation. The maximum voltage rating for all intended applications is 300 volts. Consult the Canadian Electrical Code1 for further information related to applications.
