USE-2
USE-2, RHH, RHW-2 Copper
Type USE-2, RHH, and RHW-2 conductors are primarily used in direct burial applications, conduit, or other recognized raceways for services and feeders as specified by the NEC (National Electrical Code). Suitable in wet locations and where condensation or moisture accumulation exist within the conduit or raceway. When used in applications specifying Type RHH or RHW-2, conductor temperatures shall not surpass 90°C in wet or dry locations. Type USE-2, RHH, and RHW-2 conductors are rated for 600 volts.
