#2 AWG Copper XHHW-2 Building Wire is a high-performance electrical wire primarily used for power distribution in various applications. It features soft drawn bare copper conductors and robust cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation, designed for durability and safety in demanding environments. This wire is suitable for both wet and dry locations and is dual-rated for 600V or 1000V applications.
The acronym XHHW-2 breaks down the key characteristics of the wire's insulation and performance:
This wire is widely used for power distribution in various settings. Common applications include:
Yes, #2 AWG 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 consistent performance at temperatures up to 90°C in either environment.
While XHHW-2 wire is generally suitable for various applications, specifically for cable tray use, only sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are approved. Therefore, #2 AWG XHHW-2 wire is not approved for cable tray use.
