RPVU-90

Scope

RPVU-90 is a single conductor wire insulated with crosslinked polyethylene (XLP or XLPE) and rated for use in AC and DC photovoltaic power systems less than 2kV. This wire is used for interconnection wiring in grounded and ungrounded solar systems.

Construction

Conductors: Single conductors are available in solid or stranded and annealed or hardened configurations. Tin coated copper conductors are also available.

Insulation: Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) that is FT1 flame and “Oil and Gasoline Resistant I” rated.

All black insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant.” All colored insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant” in sizes #6 AWG and larger, and optional in sizes #8 AWG and smaller.

Identification and Packaging

Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2500 feet.
