3/0 AWG XHHW-2 – COPPER

XHHW-2 cables are primarily used for power distribution in
conduit or other recognized raceways as specified in the
National Electrical Code. The cables may be used in wet or dry
locations with conductor temperatures not exceeding 90°C and
may be used in free air, raceways, or cable trays in accordance
with National Electrical Code. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 cable
is 600V or 1000V.
