1 Subjects 44, 854 and 4703 Heat-Curable EPCV and Heat- and Moisture-Cross-Linkable Synthetic-Polymer (Class XL) Compounds Acceptable under the L Follow-Up-Service Program for Thermoset-Insulated Wires and Cables, and Service-Entrance Cables, and Photovoltaic Wire 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, with those compounds covered in the Follow-Up Service Procedures assigned to a manufacturer for (1) Thermoset-Insulated Wire and Cable s SIS, XHH, XHHW, and XHHW-2 rated 600 volts and s RHH, RHW, and RHW-2 rated volts, (2) Service-Entrance Cable s USE and USE-2 rated 600 volts, and (3) Photovoltaic Wire insulation rated 600, 1000, or 2000 volts. Compounds that are acceptable for use on XHHW, XHHW-2, RHW, or RHW-2, and also acceptable for use on USE or USE-2, are acceptable for use on the conductors in SE Service-Entrance Cable. Conductors in SE cable are rated only for 600 volts. Compounds that are acceptable for use on RHW-2 are acceptable for use on PV wire employing a jacket. Unless otherwise noted by a footnote, the PV compounds shown are rated 600 volts, 90 C and do not require a jacket.
