#12 AWG Copper XHHW-2 Building Wire is a high-performance electrical conductor primarily used for power distribution in various building applications. It features a soft drawn bare copper conductor with robust cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, designed for excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and abrasion. This wire is suitable for both wet and dry locations.
XHHW-2 is an acronym that stands for "Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) High Heat-resistant Water-resistant." The "-2" indicates that the wire has an enhanced temperature rating of 90°C in both wet and dry locations, offering superior performance compared to its predecessor.
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 commonly found in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings for general purpose wiring.
The main difference lies in their insulation. XHHW-2 uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, which is a thermoset material, providing superior resistance to heat, moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, along with greater flexibility. THHN wire typically uses thermoplastic PVC insulation with a nylon jacket, which is generally thinner, less flexible in cold temperatures, and may be more susceptible to chemical damage or moisture leakage, though it is often more cost-effective. XHHW-2 also maintains a 90°C rating in both wet and dry conditions, while older THHN might have a lower wet rating.
