Copper RHW-2 wire is a high-performance cable with annealed (soft) copper conductors for excellent electrical conductivity. Its insulation material is cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), which has excellent heat and moisture resistance, and can operate in dry or humid environments with a maximum operating temperature of up to 90°C. The RHW-2 cable is rated for 600 volts.

TEST
Tests are divided into routine tests, sampling tests and type test items.
routine tests: Tests carried out by the manufacturer on all manufactured lengths of finished cables toverify that all cables comply with specified requirements.Routine test items :Conductor resistance measurement, voltage test.
Sampling tests: Tests carried out by the manufacturer on specimens of finished cables or on certaincomponents taken from finished cables at specified frequencies to check whether the cables complywith specified requirements.
Sampling test items:Conductor inspection, dimensional inspection,thermal extension testing ofinsulation and elastomer sheaths.
Type test：Tests carried out on normal commercial principles before supply of a type of cable covered by this standard to demonstrate that the cable has satisfactory performance under the conditions of intended use.
Type testing includes electrical type testing and non-electrical type testing items.
Electrical type test items:1) Insulation resistance measurement at ambient temperature.2) Measurement of insulation resistance at maximum conductor temperature during normal operation.3) 4h voltage test.
Non-electrical type test items include insulation non-electrical type test and sheath non-electrical type test.
Insulation non-electrical type test items: Dimensional measurements、mechanical properties(tensile strength and Elongation at break)、High temperature pressure test、Low temperature performance、Thermal shock test、Thermal extension test and water absorption test, etc.
Sheath non-electrical type test items：Dimensional measurements、mechanical properties(tensile strength and Elongation at break)、High temperature pressure test、Low temperature performance、Weight loss test and thermal shock test, etc.
