Product Information

Also Known As:

2/0 aluminum wire, 2 0 wire amps, 2/0 awg aluminum wire, 2/0 xhhw-2 aluminum wire, 2/0 xhhw-2 cable, 2/0 hxxw-2 cable, 2/0 rw90 cable, 2/0 rw90 wire, 2/0 type se cable style u type xhhw-2, 2/0 xhhw-2, 2/0 southwire xhhw-2, 2/0 xhhw-2 insulation.

Conductors:

XHHW-2 conductor is a soft drawn bare 8000 series aluminum, with Class B stranding per ASTM. Stranded conductors reduce power loss and are also easier to use in applications where flexibility is vital. 

Insulation:

XHHW-2 has abrasion, heat, and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Cross linking a polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions.
