<div dir="ltr">Bryan,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for the link. I am confused by the "PVC" section you referenced. Here's the complete text:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> For safety reasons Stäubli prohibits the use of PVC cables.
Cables made from PVC can be connected to MC4-Evo 2 since
the insulation material of the connector (Polyamide) is suitable to
be connected to PVC. PVC cables usually have an upper limiting
temperature of 70 °C, in fixed installations sometimes 80 °C. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>THHN/THWN-2 is made with PVC insulation, so I assume that it falls under the category of a "PVC cable."</div><div><br></div><div>So, the first sentence seems to say that it's not allowed by Staubli. But then the second sentence seems to say that is IS allowed. And then the third sentence doesn't seem to be contemplating the most common PVC wire type of all (in the US), which is THHN/THWN-2, which has a 90 degree rating?!</div><div><br></div><div>Can you help un-confuse me?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you!</div><div>Blake</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 8:55 AM Bryan Norkunas <<a href="mailto:Bryan@pv-cables.com">Bryan@pv-cables.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_-6232475397389847284WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Trying this again since my first link didn\u2019t work, here is the link to the MFG specs for NON PV , low DC applications:<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><a href="https://ec.staubli.com/AcroFiles/Technical%20Info/PV_SOL-LVDC_(en).pdf" target="_blank">https://ec.staubli.com/AcroFiles/Technical%20Info/PV_SOL-LVDC_(en).pdf</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">For safety reasons Stäubli prohibits the use of thermoplastic PVC insulation cables.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Bryan Norkunas<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif"> RE-wrenches [mailto:<a href="mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Chris Sparadeo<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, April 23, 2021 8:30 AM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [RE-wrenches] MC4s are listed for THWN, right?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Also have to appreciate the 8 screws holding that 6x6\u201d. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Fri, Apr 23, 2021 at 12:13 AM Jay <<a href="mailto:jay.peltz@gmail.com" target="_blank">jay.peltz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12pt">Yes they are. <br><br>Their rating is based on wire size, number of strands, material, insulation thickness. <br><br>Insulation material isn\u2019t specified. <br><br>Jay <br><br>Peltz power. <br><br>> On Apr 22, 2021, at 7:35 PM, Jason Szumlanski <<a href="mailto:jason@floridasolardesigngroup.com" target="_blank">jason@floridasolardesigngroup.com</a>> wrote:<br>> <br>> <span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">\ufeff</span><br>> I found this gem today while tracking down an AFCI fault.
