8 AWG 600v/2kv DLO Diesel Locomotive Cable RHH/RHW Power Cable

Allowable Ampacity For 8 AWG 600V/2KV DLO Diesel Locomotive Cable RHH/RHW Power Cable: 80 Amps

Applications:

DLO electrical cable is used to transmit power within diesel engines, including industrial machines, wind turbines, cars, and train wagons. Diesel locomotive electrical cables power lead transmitter from the engine to the rotating wheels. Aside from the diesel engines, the cable can be used as a general building wire in mining equipment, industrial equipment, and motor leads thanks to its fire-resistant jacket and insulation. DLO is also suitable for sea-bonding locomotives and other marine applications. The temperature rating for continuous exposure is 90°C in wet/dry conditions.
