Featuring aluminum XHHW-2 insulated conductors and a dedicated 2\/0 grounding conductor, this factory-twisted configuration is engineered to maximize installation efficiency by allowing a single-pull setup for high-voltage circuits.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eWhy Choose Priority-Plex® 500 MCM Aluminum Feeder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003ePriority-Plex® technology addresses the logistical and physical challenges of handling large-gauge conductors. By twisting the Phase conductors (Brown, Orange, Yellow) and the Grounding conductor (Green) together at the factory, the cable acts as a single, manageable unit. This prevents individual conductors from crossing over each other or \"wedging\" inside the conduit, which is a leading cause of insulation damage during heavy mechanical pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuperior Labor
