Specification

1/0-18 RWA 90 Canadian Aluminum Building Wire

Allowable Ampacity for 1/0-18 RWA 90 Canadian Aluminum Building Wire: 190 Amps 

Applications:

RWA 90 Canadian Aluminum Building Wire is used in open wiring and raceways in dry and wet conditions. However, it is not used in cable troughs and ventilated flexible cableway. RWA 90 Canadian Aluminum Building Wire is approved to be used in ceiling fixtures. It can also be used as an exposed wiring thanks to weather and sunlight resistance. The electrical cable is recommended for use in temperatures between -40 °C and 90 °C. The voltage rating of the electrical cable is 600V.
