CONDUCTOR:
Soft drawn bare copper in compressed stranding.
INSULATION:
Abrasion, heat and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLP), low coefficient of friction. It is available in ten solid colors.
AMP RATING:
@ 90°C - 145 Amps
All values are nominal and subject to correction. *Ampacities for not more than three conductors in raceway or cable or earth (directly buried), based on ambient temperature of 30°C per Table 310.16 of the National Electrical Code. **Overcurrent protection shall not exceed 15 amps for #14 AWG, 20 amps for #12 AWG, and 30 amps for #10 AWG per NEC.

This is a high-performance electrical wire designed for power distribution in various building applications. It features a soft drawn bare copper conductor with durable cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, offering excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and abrasion. It is suitable for both wet and dry locations and is dual-rated for 600V or 1000V.
XHHW-2 is an acronym that stands for "Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) High Heat-resistant Water-resistant," with the "-2" indicating its suitability for 90°C operation in both wet and dry environments. The XLPE insulation provides superior protection against environmental factors.
This wire is primarily used for power distribution in conduit or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring, as specified by the National Electrical Code (NEC). It is suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings, including applications like motor connections, lighting, and control circuits.
Yes, XHHW-2 wire is specifically designed and rated for use in both wet and dry locations. Its cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation provides excellent resistance to moisture, allowing for reliable performance in diverse environmental conditions.
The ampacity for #1 AWG Copper XHHW-2 wire is 145 Amps when used at 90°C. This rating is based on not more than three current-carrying conductors in a raceway or cable, with an ambient temperature of 30°C, as per Table 310.16 of the National Electrical Code.
Yes, #1 AWG Copper XHHW-2 wire is approved for cable tray use. The product description specifies that 1/0 AWG and larger sizes are approved for this application.
XHHW-2 wire uses thermoset cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, which offers superior flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability, especially in harsh environments and cold temperatures. THHN wire typically uses thermoplastic PVC insulation, which is generally thinner, less flexible in cold, and can emit toxic smoke when burned. XHHW-2 is also rated for 90°C in both wet and dry conditions, while standard THHN may have different ratings for wet environments.
This #1 AWG Copper XHHW-2 Building Wire is dual-rated for 600V or 1000V. This makes it suitable for a wide range of power distribution applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
Yes, the cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation of XHHW-2 wire provides excellent resistance to abrasion, heat, moisture, and various chemicals. This robust insulation contributes to the wire's overall durability and longevity in demanding environments.
This XHHW-2 wire is available in ten solid colors. This variety allows for easy phase identification and organization in complex electrical installations.
