Aluminum XHHW-2
Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit or other recognized raceways for services and feeders as specified by the NEC (National Electrical Code). XHHW-2 is available in sizes ranging from #6 to 1000MCM. The conductors are made with 8000 series aluminum alloy and cross-linked polyethylene insulation is applied. All sizes are made with a friction reducing compound to aid in the installation process.
