Product Information

Specification

4/0 AWG XHHW Aluminum Cable 600V

Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 AWG XHHW Aluminum Cable 600V at 75°C: 180 Amps

Allowable Ampacity for 4/0 AWG XHHW Aluminum Cable 600V at 90°C: 205 Amps

Applications:

These electrical wires, also known as XHHW-2 cables, are primarily used for power distribution, in both wet and dry places, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 90°C. Voltage rating for this electrical wire, XHHW-2 cable, is 600V. 

Also Known As:

4/0 xhhw cable, 4/0 hxxw cable, 4/0 rw90 cable, 4/0 rw90 wire, 4/0 type se cable style u type xhhw, 4/0 xhhw, 4/0 southwire xhhw, 4/0 xhhw 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.
