TYPE TC MULTICONDUCTORPHOTOVOLTAIC CABLEMULTIPLE CONDUCTORS: 2000V • RATED 90°C • RHH/RHW-2

APPLICATIONSNexans AmerCable’s Type TC multiconductor cable combines the requirements for large solar farms and ofthe National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690 into onecable. The overall jacketed cable is permitted to beinstalled in cable trays, wireways, troughs, etc. that arecommon while providing individual conductors that aresunlight resistant and meet the requirements of Type PVwires. Applications include cable routings from modulestrings to collector boxes and other required routings inBalance of System (BoS) integration and where alsoallowed by the NEC.

FEATURESn Conductors are a two layer construction of flame retardant, oil and sunlight resistant ChlorinatedPolyethylene (CPE) over an Ethylene-Propylene Rubber(EPR) inner layer.

n Power conductors are UL recognized for Type PV wire per UL 4703

n Overall jacketed cable provides for ease of installationin a flame retardant and sunlight resistant construction.

n Suitable for continuous operating temperature of 90°C wet or dry

n Direct burial 2kV

* Diameter limits are in accordance with ICEA S-94-649-2013. The minima also agree with the current AEIC Specification CS8-07.** Alternative concentric neutral constructions, with equivalent conductivity, may be supplied.+ When pulling the cable, the minimum bending radius should be at least 1.5 times the above recommended value in order to limit the sidewall bearing pressure (SWBP) to2,000 lb./ft. This limit should be reduced to 1,500 lb./ft. when the jacket is not applied tightly to the cable core.
