UL 44 Thermoset Insulated Wire
UL 44 THERMOSET INSULATED WIRE
Dynamic Cables' UL 44 Thermoset-Insulated Wire (XHHW-2 / RHH / RHW-2) is a 600V/1000V general purpose building wire for use principally in conduit or other recognized raceways. Superior insulating toughness and chemical resistance make it ideal for industrial applications.
In dry or wet areas, the maximum working temperature shall not exceed 90°C. In open air, raceways, or cable trays, it complies with the NEC. This product is designed to be installed without the use of a pulling lubricant.
