About the 2/0 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Building Wire 600V

This is 2/0 AWG XHHW-2 aluminum building wire rated for 600V. It is 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. It can be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C.

The conductor is compact bare AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, Class B stranded per ASTM. The insulation is abrasion-, heat- and moisture-resistant cross-linked polyethylene, which gives the wire strength for harsh conditions. The wire is sunlight resistant.

Its ampacity suits service entrances in industrial and commercial buildings, feeder circuits, sub-panel distribution, large HVAC units, motors and industrial machinery, and renewable energy installations. Cable tray rating for 1/0 AWG and larger is available upon request.
