Mike, The RHH/RHW-2 do not cross to USE-2 because they do not have any rating for UV exposure. If these conductors are run outside of conduit on the array, you need USE-2 or PV conductor.

_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Cook Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 12:47 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: [RE-wrenches] DLO wires in PV systems We have a 4KW pv system installed and the local inspector wants to use this as a test case so he is crossing all T's and dotting all I's. Which I am happy to help him out with training his other inspectors We are running into an issue on the module output wires. USE-2 or PV rated is how the code book reads. The wire we have been using on these systems is DLO (diesel locomotive) which carries the ratings of RHH and RHW-2, which seems to cross with the USE-2. Does anyone have any documentation showing this cross? If not, I guess I will be switching the wire to USE-2/RHW-2 because it needs to go into conduit. Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]
