Applications:
Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit or recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring as specified in the National Electrical Code 1 . 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, 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 aluminum conductors are AlumaFlex TM AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact stranded. Insulation is an abrasion, moisture and heat resistant black cross-linked polyethylene. Conductor sizes AWG 2 and larger listed and marked sunlight resistant in black only. Not CT rated.
