Applications
Paralleled conductors are sunlight-resistant, photovoltaic wire rated 90°C wet or dry, 2000 volts for interconnection wiring of grounded and ungrounded photovoltaic power systems as described in Section 690.31(A) and other applicable parts of the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70.
• For use in free air, raceways or direct burial in accordance with NEC.
Construction
Conductor: 8 AWG thru 1000 kcmil compact aluminum ACM (8000 series) conductors. Insulation is Flame-Retardant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), black, suitable for 2000 V.
