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.

1 AWG XHHW aluminum cable is used for:

• Service entrance
• Feeder circuits
• Sub-panel distribution
• Large appliances & equipment
• Conduit systems
• Motors and industrial equipment
• Renewable energy installations

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:

Compact bare AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, Class B stranded per ASTM

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.
