XHHW-2 DIFFERENCE

[iwire]

So it sounds/looks like the same claim when I see on the manufacturers literature 'suitable for Cl. I, Div.2' but when you ask if it was TESTED by UL/FM, they demur. My hunch is that that cable has NO tested fire rating and that when and if it was submitted for UL it was not tested for fire rating.

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

There are fire rated RHH conductors

Raychem RHW is a 2-hour fire-rated power cable with
polymeric insulation that is designed to operate under fire
conditions as defined by UL 2196 and ULC S139— the
North American standards for fire testing of electrical
cables.

You pull it in a conduit and it has a 2 hour fire rating.

Got it, thanks, in this case assumption on my part did only make me an @$%#:lol:. Forgot about the Tyco/Raychem product that I've seen some time ago and obviously the Draka product also rated & tested.
