Product Information

Specification

1/0 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V

Allowable Ampacity for 1/0 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 75°C: 120 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 1/0 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 90°C: 135 Amps

Applications:

This electrical aluminum wire, also known as XHHW-2 cable, is primarily used for power distribution, in both wet and dry places, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 90°C. The voltage rating for this electrical wire, XHHW-2 cable, is 600V. 

 1/0 AWG XHHW Aluminum Cable is used for:

• High ampacity applications
• Service entrance
• Feeder circuits
• Sub-panel distribution
• HVAC & large appliances
• Conduit systems
• Industrial equipment and motors
• Renewable energy installations

Also Known As:

1/0 aluminum wire, xhhw-2 wire, 1/0 awg wire, 1/0 gauge cable, 1/0 xhhw-2 cable, 1/0 hxxw-2 cable, 1/0 rw90 cable, 1/0 rw90 wire, 1/0 type se cable style u type xhhw-2, 1/0 xhhw-2, 1/0 southwire xhhw-2, 1/0 xhhw-2 insulation.

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 like direct burial installation.
