Heat-Curable EPCV and Heat- and Moisture-Cross-Linkable Synthetic-Polymer (Class XL) Compounds Acceptable under the Type L Follow-Up-Service Program for Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables and Service-Entrance Cables
The following tables are complete lists of presently available commercial compounds that have been investigated by UL and are considered interchangeable, without submittal to UL's Conformity Assessment Services Dept., with those compounds covered in the Follow-Up Service Procedures assigned to a manufacturer for (1) Thermoset-Insulated Wire and Cable Types SIS, XHH, XHHW, and XHHW-2 rated 600 volts and Types RHH, RHW, and RHW-2 rated 600 - 2000 volts, and (2) Service-Entrance Cable Types USE and USE-2 rated 600 volts. Compounds that are acceptable for use on Type XHHW, XHHW-2, RHW, or RHW-2, and also acceptable for use on Type USE or USE-2, are acceptable for use on the conductors in Type SE Service-Entrance Cable. Conductors in Type SE cable are rated only for 600 volts.
