Bryan, Thank you for the link. I am confused by the "PVC" section you referenced. Here's the complete text:
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. THHN/THWN-2 is made with PVC insulation, so I assume that it falls under the category of a "PVC cable." 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?! Can you help un-confuse me? Thank you!
