UKB is a manufacturer of UL-44 Thermoset (XHHW-2/RHH/RHW-2) Building Wire, 600/1000 V, designed for general-purpose electrical installations, primarily in conduits, recognised raceways, open air, and cable trays, in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). It features bare copper or AA-8000 series aluminum alloy conductors with thermoset cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, offering excellent insulation toughness and chemical resistance for industrial applications. Suitable for dry and wet locations, it is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 90°C and is designed for installation without pulling lubricant. The product complies with applicable UL 44 and ASTM standards.
Types of Cables
UL 83 – Thermoplastic (THHN, THWN-2) Building Wire 600 V
UL-44 Thermoset (XHHW-2/RHH/RHW-2) Building Wire 600/1000 V
THHN means thermoplastic, high heat resistant, nylon coated and THWN-2 is similar, but has additional weather and water resistance. It is a general purpose building wire as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and is used for services, feeders, and branch circuits in residential and commercial applications. This wire is rated for maximum 90°C in both wet and dry locations and only to 75°C when ex- posed to oil. The UL 83 standard rating is given to single conductor, thermoplastic insulated wire and cables rated to 600 volts.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) specifies general purpose building wire for use principally in conduit or other recognised raceways. Superior insulating toughness and chemical resistance are essential in industrial applications. In dry or wet areas, the maximum working temperature shall not exceed 90 degrees Celsius, and in open air, raceways, or cable trays, in compliance with the NEC. This product is intended to be fitted without the use of a pulling lubricant.
