This 3/0 AWG 4-conductor Priority-Plex® assembly is a professional-grade feeder solution optimized for 3-phase, 4-wire power systems. By factory-twisting the Black, Red, White, and Blue conductors into a single synchronized bundle, this cable eliminates the need for on-site triplexing or quadruplexing, allowing a full circuit to be pulled from a single reel with minimal setup.

Why Choose Priority-Plex® 3/0 AWG Aluminum Feeder?

Pulling 3/0 AWG conductors individually often results in "wedging" or "crossing" inside the conduit, which increases friction and the risk of insulation damage. The Priority-Plex® twisted configuration ensures all four conductors maintain a uniform geometry, making it significantly easier to navigate through multiple 90° bends.

  • Streamlined Installation: Replaces a four-reel setup with one, cutting down on site congestion and reducing labor costs by up to 70%.

  • Permanent Phase Identification: Pre-colored conductors (Black, Red, White, Blue) provide immediate identification for 120/208V systems, removing the need for phase-taping and reducing wiring errors.

  • Superior XHHW-2 Insulation: The cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) jacket is rugged and moisture-resistant, offering a higher melting point and lower coefficient of friction than standard THHN.

  • Lightweight AA-8000 Alloy: Provides a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to copper that is much easier to manage in long vertical or horizontal runs.

Technical Specifications: 3/0 AWG 4C

  • Conductor Size: 3/0 AWG

  • Number of Conductors: 4 (Black, Red, White, Blue)

  • Conductor Material: AA-8000 Series Aluminum Alloy

  • Insulation Type: XHHW-2 (Cross-linked Polyethylene)

  • Voltage Rating: 600V

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

  • Ampacity: 175 Amps (@ 90°C) | 155 Amps (@ 75°C)

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

Common Applications

  • Commercial Services: Ideal for main feeders in retail storefronts, office suites, and restaurants.

  • Industrial Branch Feeders: Supplying power to mechanical equipment, large pumps, and HVAC units.

  • Multi-Family Housing: Used for individual tenant service feeds and common area distribution panels.

  • Data Centers: Efficient 3-phase power distribution for server room infrastructure.


Technical Note: When terminating 3/0 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 and prevent surface oxidation.

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.
