Aluminum XHHW-2

Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit or other recognized raceways for services and feeders as specified in the National Electrical Code (NEC). XHHW-2 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations. XHHW-2 conductors are rated for 600 and 1,000 volt applications. Per c(UL) specifications, RW90 conductors are rated for 600 volt applications. They are made with 8000 series aluminum alloy and cross-linked polyethylene insulation is applied. All sizes are made with a friction-reducing compound to aid in the installation process.
