What Is XHHW Wire? XHHW wireis a specific type of building wire with high water and temperature resistance. The product is RoHS compliant and can be used for a broad range of general purpose wiring. For applications requiring a flame retardant material, the XHHW is trusted due to its annealed conductors and insulation.
What Does XHHW Wire Mean? The meaning of XHHW is “XLPE High Heat-resistant Water-resistant.” Although the meaning translates to high heat and water resistance, the wire is also resistant to abrasions, ozone, and chemicals.
How Is XHHW Wire Constructed? XHHWwire uses a specific insulation material, condition of use, and temperature rating for electrical wire and cable. The material is ideal for use in low temperature environments. You can find a variety of jacket colors, and can be found with both solid and stranded constructions. In larger gauges, stranded is the only option because of its flexibility.

How Is XHHW Wire Applied? XHHW wire is often used in alternating current electrical distribution systems of many different types of buildings in North America. This is usually at voltage levels of 110-600 volts. Aluminum and copper conductors, sold as stranded or solid, use XHHW insulation. XHHW wire insulation is suitable for use in dry locations up to 90° C, and wet locations up to 75° C. Similar to XHHW, XHHW-2 insulation can be used in dry and wet locations up to 90° C.
