<p>I've used it a few times for battery and inverter cables and it
works just fine. It just has a thicker jacket so when you heat
shrink it at the lugs, it looks funny. Not a serious problem,
just get a higher ratio heat shrink like 3 to 1, and it should be
fine. <br>

<div>I am going to use the 2kva DLO cable. It is dual rated as
RHW-2, which is what inverter OEM recommends. AWC warehouse is
also close by in PA. also.</div>

<p>I would look at Diesel Locomotive Cable DLO, which is
usually dual rated RHH/RHW-2 for us non locomotive folks.
2000 v rated. Its pretty easy to work with, flexible, but
has a 2nd inner liner that gives it the higher volt
rating. Its also usually tinned conductors too. <br>

<div id="__MailbirdStyleContent" style="font-size:

battery cable for a nominal 850 vdc LFP bank. Several
brands of power cable list their rating at a dual
600/1000v. it is my understanding that to be listed in
this manner, the cable must pass a test apply of over
600v for a short period without breakdown. But under
normal operation IMO, the voltage is not to exceed 600v.
And this test is done with AC voltage, not DC.

and control tray cable, was recently updated,
allowing manufacturers with UL approved tray cable
to market their product as 600V/1kV rated. To be
dual rated, products must use a recognized 1kV rated
conductor and pass a higher voltage AC Hipot test on
the completed cable. This test requires each
insulated conductor in finished cable to withstand a
specified voltage range for one minute without
breakdown. If a product passes the AC Hipot test, it
is suitable for 1kV use."</p>

<div>Am I getting this right? And If so, one should
not use this 600/1000v wire if normal operating
voltage is above 600v as is my case? Proper rating
should be dual 1000/2000v like PV wire?</div>

<div>What do you experienced high voltage battery
gurus use in my application? Thanks.</div>
