What is RWU90?

Aluminum RWU90 is a cross linked polyethylene insulated single conductor The insulation is thicker than that of the RW90 making it suitable for direct earth burial. The available size range is from #8 AWG to 750 kcmil. Applications include service entrance below ground. RWU90 can only be specified as 1000 Volts.

What is the difference between Type AC 90 and Type Teck 90 cable?

Types AC90, ACWU90 and TECK90 are acceptable for consumer service conductors, although Type AC90 is restricted to services above ground in dry locations. Use of single-conductor AC90 and unjacketed TECK90 is not recommended in circuits rated over 425 amps.

What are AC90 used for?

AC-90 used for the cleaning of almost all surfaces, including metal, rubber, vinyl, most plastics, and painted surfaces. It will effectively remove grime, grease residues, wax-based corrosion coatings, and more.

Is BX the same as AC90?

BX cable is commonly installed within metal stud framed buildings and where ever mechanical protection is required. Aside from NMD90, BX is probably the next most commonly used cable in the electrical industry. AC90 has an FT6 fire rating and is permitted to be installed within spaces being used as a return air plenum.

What is Rwu wire?

RWU-90 is made with a low temperature, moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation. This insulation is CSA rated for direct burial and has an operating temperature of -40°C (-40°F) to 90°C (194°F). RWU-90 cable comes in a variety of colours, which Corrpro stocks in #8 AWG and #10 AWG sizes.
