XHHW Wire
XHHW Wire is a part of Allied Wire & Cable's extensive stock of Hook-Up and Lead Wire. These XHHW Wires are cables with a Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a choice of either aluminum or copper wiring. XHHW Wire is also know for its high temperature resistance, as well as its water resistance. In fact, the name of the wire stands for "XLPE High Heat-resistant Water-resistant." This product's temperature can go as low as -40°C and as high as +90°C. These specifications make it perfect for circuit wiring in conduit, amongst other approved raceways as specified by the National Electric Code. Additionally, these XHHW wires are resistant to chemicals and other abrasions due to the jacket coating. These wires can be found in hundreds of usages, in many residential and industrial applications. This includes alternating current electrical systems, feeders, and more.
Additionally, the XPLE featured on this wire helps provide abrasion resistance, and is actually slightly more flexible than THHN Wire. The XHHW-2 Specification signifies that these cables can be used in wet and dry locations. All of Allied's XHHW Wires are rated for 600 volts. To learn more, visit our XHHW specifications above.
