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:

8 AWG 600V/2KV DLO cable is used for power transmission in diesel engines and other industrial systems. This size is ideal for medium-power circuits and secondary leads. It transmits power from the engine to the traction motors locomotives and is commonly used in:

• Industrial machinery and mining equipment

• Wind turbines and electric vehicles

• Motor leads

• Marine systems, including sea-bonded locomotives

Its flexible build makes it suitable for both fixed installations and flexing applications. Dual-rated RHH/RHW-2, this cable operates continuously at 90°C in wet or dry conditions.
