This 1/0 AWG (pronounced "one-aught"), 3-conductor assembly is a heavy-duty feeder cable designed for high-amperage residential and commercial power distribution. It is most frequently used for 125A to 150A residential service entrances and main sub-panel feeds. The XHHW-2 rating ensures it can be installed in conduit in both wet and dry locations, making it ideal for underground service laterals.
Priority-Plex® is a specialized manufacturing process where the conductors are pre-twisted (cabled) together at the factory.
At the 1/0 gauge, aluminum offers an optimal balance of high ampacity and low cost compared to copper.
According to NEC Table 310.16, the ampacity for 1/0 Aluminum depends on the temperature rating of the equipment terminations:
⚠️ PRO TIP: Most modern main breakers and distribution panels are rated for 75°C. Therefore, in most commercial/industrial applications, this cable is treated as a 120 Amp feeder. However, for residential service entrance applications, NEC 310.12 may allow higher ratings (often up to 150A) depending on the total load of the dwelling.
This assembly follows the standard 120/240V or 120/208V color code for easy identification:
The colors are typically embedded in the XLPE insulation or clearly striped, ensuring permanent identification that won't rub off during a difficult pull.
