Applications:
Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and
branch circuit wiring, as specified in the National Electrical Code. XHHW-2 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations
at temperatures not to exceed 90° C. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 volts.

Specifications:
Type XHHW-2 conductors meet or exceed UL Standard 44; ASTM B3, B8;Federal Specification A-A-59544, and requirements of the National Electrical Code.
Type XHHW-2 meets and exceeds all construction requirements of ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC 70) - Nonshielded 0 - 2 kV Cables, with testing frequencies based on UL requirements.

Construction:
Type XHHW-2 copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper. Insulation is an abrasion, moisture, and heat
resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLP). Colors available in sizes 14 AWG and larger. Sunlight Resistant in black only. Not
CT rated. Conductor sizes 2 AWG and larger listed and marked sunlight resistant in black only.
