This #1 AWG 4-conductor Priority-Plex® assembly with an integrated #4 AWG Ground is a compact and efficient feeder solution for 277/480V 3-phase, 4-wire systems. By factory-twisting the phases (Brown, Orange, Yellow), the neutral (Gray), and a #4 AWG Green ground, this system provides a complete circuit in a single bundle, maximizing efficiency for commercial and light industrial installations.

Why Choose Priority-Plex® #1 AWG with #4 Ground?

Even at the #1 AWG size, pulling five separate conductors from five different reels is labor-intensive and prone to tangling. Priority-Plex® technology eliminates "bird-caging" and uneven tension. The twisted geometry ensures that the entire bundle moves as a single unit, which significantly lowers the coefficient of friction and helps prevent insulation damage during tight turns in the conduit run.

  • Optimized Grounding: The #4 AWG Green ground is factory-integrated and sized to meet NEC requirements for standard #1 aluminum circuits, providing a safe and reliable low-impedance ground path.

  • Rapid Installation: One reel replaces five. This reduces setup time, requires fewer jack stands, and allows a smaller crew to manage pulls with ease.

  • 480V Phase Identification: Permanent, factory-colored insulation (Brown, Orange, Yellow, Gray, Green) provides instant identification. This removes the labor of field-taping and minimizes the risk of phase-rotation or grounding errors.

  • Rugged XHHW-2 Performance: The XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) jacket is tougher than standard PVC, offering high resistance to moisture and heat (rated 90°C), which is essential for long-term reliability.

  • Voltage Rating: 600V

  • Temperature Rating: 90°C (Wet/Dry)

  • Ampacity: 115 Amps (@ 90°C) | 100 Amps (@ 75°C)

  • Configuration: Parallel-Twisted (Priority-Plex®)

Common Applications

  • Commercial 480V Sub-Feeders: Supplying power from main switchboards to secondary distribution panels in retail and office environments.

  • Light Industrial Equipment: Powering 3-phase machinery and small motor loads in manufacturing plants.

  • HVAC Infrastructure: Providing the main feed for roof-top units (RTUs) and commercial air handlers.

  • EV Charging: Serving as the supply for Level 2 charging banks in commercial parking structures.


Technical Note: When terminating #1 AWG aluminum, always use AL9CU-rated mechanical or compression connectors. It is critical to wire-brush the conductor and apply an approved antioxidant joint compound to ensure long-term connection integrity. Always verify that your conduit sizing accommodates the 5-conductor twisted bundle per NEC Chapter 9 requirements.

AWG, or American Wire Gauge, is the standard system used primarily in North America to measure the diameter of electrical conductors. This system is critical because a wire's size directly impacts its electrical resistance and how much current (ampacity) it can safely carry. A key principle is that the smaller the AWG number, the larger the wire's diameter; for instance, 12 AWG is thicker and can carry more current than 14 AWG. Sizes beyond 0 AWG are referred to as "aught" (e.g., 1/0, 2/0). Selecting the correct AWG is essential for safe electrical installations, preventing overheating, and minimizing voltage drop.
Voltage drop is the natural reduction in electrical potential that occurs as current travels through a circuit, from the power source to a device. This happens because all wires inherently have resistance, which converts some electrical energy into heat, leading to a loss of voltage. While minor voltage drop is normal, excessive amounts can cause problems like dimming lights, slow or overheating motors, and erratic electronic behavior. It can also lead to higher energy consumption and, in severe cases, create safety hazards due to overheating wires. Key factors influencing voltage drop include the wire's length and thickness (gauge), the amount of current flowing through it, and the quality of electrical connections.
In electrical wiring, amps (amperes) measure the rate of electrical current flow. Think of it as the volume of electricity moving through the wire at any given time. Crucially, every electrical wire has an ampacity rating, which is the maximum current it can safely carry continuously without overheating. Exceeding a wire's ampacity can lead to insulation damage and fire hazards, highlighting why proper wire sizing based on expected amperage is vital for safe electrical systems.
A wire's ampacity, or its safe current-carrying capacity, changes with temperature primarily because of two factors. First, the electrical resistance of copper and aluminum wires increases as they get hotter, causing them to generate more heat when current flows. Second, every wire's insulation has a maximum temperature limit; exceeding this can cause degradation and safety hazards. Therefore, in hotter environments, a wire must carry less current to avoid exceeding its insulation's temperature rating. This ensures the wire remains safe and functional, preventing overheating and potential failures.
We aim to provide authentic, precise images of each wire; however, with various product variations, it can be challenging. In such instances, we focus on showcasing the fundamental design. Always refer to the product specifications rather than relying solely on images.
