Thanks Ray,<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><div class="mb_sig"></div><blockquote class='history_container' type='cite' style='border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;'>

<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: 12pt;font-family: Arial;color: #000000">I need to spec 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.

line-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: none;">UL 1277, the
standard for electrical power 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><br>

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