USE-2 Wire for Solar Applications
Description
USE-2 is a single conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLP/XLPE) Type of solid or stranded bare annealed copper. The insulation is sunlight resistant and operates at 600V or 2000V.
Application
USE-2 is suitable for all solar wiring solutions as interconnection wiring of grounded photovoltaic power systems.
Features
Tough insulation that’s heat, moisture, oil and gasoline resistant, withstands high temperatures and harsh conditions, and its black insulation resists ultraviolet sun light very well, and can therefore be used with no issue in outside applications.
Standards
Our USE-2 is produced to the following specifications and requirements:
- UL
- ASTM
- ICEA/NEMA
Available Products
- Sizes #14 through 1/0 AWG
- Solid or Stranded
- Up to 12 color options for all sizes
- Standard insulation is XLP, with XLP-VW-1 available when needed
- Standard product operates up to 600 V, with 1000 V (1kV) and 2000 V (2kV) RHW-2 capacity options available when needed
We also have Photovoltaic (PV) Wire available for the solar industry.
