APPLICATION:
Type XHHW-2/RW90 wires are primarily 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. XHHW-2/RW90 conductors may
be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed
90ºC. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 or 1000
volts, or 600 volts for RW90. Cable tray rated for 1/0 AWG and
larger available upon request.
CONDUCTORS:
• Compact bare AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, Class B
stranded per ASTM
INSULATION:
• Abrasion, heat and moisture resistant cross-linked
polyethylene insulation (XLP), low coefficient of friction,
“slippery” or “slick” material. It is available in ten solid
colors.
