ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS:
Standards:
Underwriters Laboratories Standards UL-4703, UL-854, UL-44
UL 1685-FT4/IEEE 1202 (70,000 Btu/hr) Flame Test (1/0 AWG and larger)
ICEA T-29-520 (210,000 Btu/hr) Flame Test
NEMA WC70/ICEA S-95-658
NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC)
ARRA 2009; Section 1605 "Buy American" Compliant
CONSTRUCTION:
Conductors:
Stranded conductors, uncoated copper per ASTM-B787 and ASTM-B8
Insulation:
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation per UL-854, UL-4703 and UL-44
Applications:
Type Photovoltaic copper conductors are suitable for outdoor rooftop applications without conduit and for use in conduits and
raceways installed underground in conduit in wet locations, and where condensation and moisture accumulations within the
conduit do not exceed 90ºC. Applications requiring direct burial is permitted for Type Photovoltaic per UL-854. Applications
requiring type Photovoltaic conductor, temperatures shall not exceed 90ºC in wet or dry locations.
Features:
Available in 600V and 1000V/2000V. All cables comply with UL’s VW-1 (Vertical Wire) Flame Test. Insulation compounds are
rated for flame and sunlight-resistance in all sizes and colors. Photovoltaic conductors of 1/0 through 1000 KCMIL are rated
for CT use. Sequential foot markings located every foot on master reels only for 1 AWG through 1000 KCMIL unless otherwise
specified.
RoHS compliant. Flexibility at Low Temperature Test. Carries -40˚C rating.
