Our take on the 600 MCM Aluminum XLP/USE-2 RHW-2/RHH Direct Burial Wire

This is a single-conductor 600 MCM aluminum building wire with cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation, rated for RHW-2 and RHH use and approved for direct burial. It is built for heavy feeder runs: underground service entrance feeds, power distribution, raceways and large branch circuits. The compact 8000-series aluminum alloy keeps it lighter and easier to pull than equivalent copper, and the XLP jacket holds up to heat and moisture in buried and wet locations. It suits electricians and contractors running high-ampacity feeders to panels, subpanels and outbuildings rather than small branch wiring.

Pros
  • 600 MCM aluminum carries high ampacity for large feeders
  • Dual-rated RHW-2 and RHH for wet or dry locations
  • Listed for direct burial, so no separate conduit is required underground
  • Compact 8000-series alloy is lighter and easier to handle than copper
  • XLP insulation resists heat and moisture
Cons
  • Aluminum needs antioxidant and proper torque on terminations to avoid loosening
  • Stiffer and harder to bend than smaller conductors
  • Requires larger lugs and connectors rated for aluminum
  • Not for small branch circuits or tight spaces

About the 600 MCM Aluminum XLP/USE-2 RHW-2/RHH Direct Burial Wire

This is a 600 MCM (600 kcmil) single-conductor building wire with an aluminum conductor. It is used for underground service entrance feeds, direct burial power distribution, raceways, and branch circuits.

The conductor is compact 8000 series aluminum alloy with Class B stranding. It is insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLP). The insulation resists mechanical abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure in wet or dry environments.

The wire is rated for 600V and carries USE-2, RHW-2, and RHH ratings. It can be buried directly in the earth without a protective outer jacket. It also pulls through conduit and runs into main service panels or through exterior raceways.

Questions and answers

What is 600 MCM aluminum wire used for?
Large feeder and service entrance runs, subpanel feeds and direct-burial power distribution. It carries far more current than small branch-circuit wire.
Can it be buried directly without conduit?
Yes. It is rated for direct burial as RHW-2/USE-2, so it can go underground without a raceway where local code allows.
Is aluminum wire safe for feeders?
Yes, when terminated with connectors listed for aluminum and torqued to spec. Use an antioxidant compound and recheck torque to prevent loosening.
Does it work in wet locations?
Yes. The RHW-2 and RHH ratings cover wet and dry locations, and the XLP insulation resists moisture.
What size lugs and conduit does 600 MCM need?
Terminations must be listed for 600 MCM aluminum, and conduit fill must be sized to the conductor's large diameter. Check the ampacity table and local code for your run.
Where is the 600 MCM Aluminum XLP/USE-2 RHW-2/RHH Direct Burial Wire cheapest?
