112-36-3071 8 AWG 1C 7Strand Bare Copper Unshielded X-Olene FMR RHW-2 Okonite Power And Control Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 112-36-3071 8 AWG 1C 7Strand Bare Copper Unshielded X-Olene FMR RHW-2 Okonite Power And Control Cable:100 Amps

About:

This cable features a 8 AWG bare copper conductor, 7Strand which provides excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability. The insulation is made of X-Olene, a proprietary type of cross-linked polyethylene known for its high resistance to heat, flame, and chemical exposure. Being unshielded, it is more suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference is not a primary concern. The "FMR" designation indicates the cable's flame-retardant properties, and "RHW-2" signifies its suitability for both wet and dry conditions at temperatures up to 90°C.

Also Known As:

• Okonite 8 AWG 7Strand Bare Copper Power Cable
•  X-Olene Insulated Unshielded Cable
• FMR RHW-2 Power and Control Cable

Application:

• X-Olene-FMR Type RHH or RHW-2 600/1000 Volt Power and Control Cables are
recommended for general low voltage power and control applications.
• Where the National Electrical Code applies, Type RHH or RHW-2 may be used up to 90°C in dry or wet locations.
• These cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors, in raceways, underground ducts, directly buried in the earth, or lashed to a messenger for aerial installation.
• Sizes 8 AWG & larger may be used for 600V underground distribution per ANSI/ICEA S 105-69

Standards:

• RHW-2 Indicates suitability for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C when exposed to oil or coolants.
