750 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V

750 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V

Allowable Ampacity for 750 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 75°C: 385 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 750 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 90°C: 435 Amps

Applications:

Type XHHW-2/RW90 wires are primarily used in conduit or recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring as specified in the National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code. XHHW-2/RW90 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90oC. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 or 1000 volts, or 600 volts for RW90. Cable tray rated for 1/0 AWG and larger available upon request.

Due to 750 mcm ampacity, this cable is used for:

• Service entrance
• Main feeder circuits
• Heavy-duty industrial equipment
• Conduit systems
• Busbars and power distribution equipment
• Large-scale renewable energy systems
• Backup generators

Standards:

• XHHW-2 meet or exceed the following standards: 
• UL standard 44 
• Requirements of the National Electrical Code 
• ASTM standards B 800, B 801 
• Federal Specification J–C-30B 
• Sunlight resistant

Construction

Conductors:

XHHW-2 conductor is a soft drawn bare 8000 series aluminum, with Class B stranding per ASTM. Stranded conductors reduce power loss and are also easier to use in applications where flexibility is vital. 

Insulation:

XHHW-2 has abrasion, heat, and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Cross linking a polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions.
