The wire is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not exceeding 90°C and is Dual-Rated for 600V or 1000V. 1/0AWG and larger are approved for cable tray use.

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 - 95 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.

The #4 AWG Copper XHHW-2 Building Wire is a high-performance electrical wire primarily used for power distribution in various raceways. It features a soft drawn bare copper conductor with cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation, making it suitable for demanding applications. This wire is dual-rated for 600V or 1000V and can be safely used in both wet and dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C.

The acronym XHHW-2 breaks down the key characteristics of the wire's insulation and performance:

  • X: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation.
  • HH: High Heat-resistant, indicating its ability to withstand elevated temperatures.
  • W: Water-resistant, signifying its suitability for wet environments.
  • -2: Denotes an upgraded version that maintains its full 90°C temperature rating in both wet and dry locations.

Here are the key specifications for this product:

  • Conductor Material: Soft drawn bare copper
  • Conductor Stranding: Compressed stranding
  • Insulation Material: Abrasion, heat, and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLP)
  • Voltage Rating: Dual-rated for 600V or 1000V
  • Temperature Rating: 90°C in wet or dry locations
  • Ampacity (@ 90°C): 95 Amps
  • Available Colors: Ten solid colors

XHHW-2 wire is versatile and widely used in various electrical installations. Its primary applications include power distribution in conduit or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring, as specified in the National Electrical Code. It is also commonly found in commercial, industrial, and residential construction projects, including machine tool wiring and control circuits.

Yes, a significant advantage of XHHW-2 wire is its suitability for use in both wet and dry locations. The advanced cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation is designed to resist moisture, allowing the wire to maintain its full performance and 90°C temperature rating in either environment.
