These classifications should be printed on the side of any conductor, although the exact terminology may vary based upon location. Below are some of the designations that are commonly used for wires used in off-grid PV systems.

Classification Common designation
Maximum insulation voltage 600 V, 1000 V, 2000 V
Heat resistance 60°C, 75°C, 90°C
Durable thermoplastic insulation T
Synthetic polymer, flame-resistant X
R Rubber or Neoprene insulation
Heat resistant up to 75°C H
Heat resistant up to 90°C HH
Rated for use in wet locations W
Nylon-coated to resist damage from oil or gasoline N
Low emission of smoke and hazardous gases during a fire. LS
