APPLICATIONS
XHHWbuilding wire is intended for general purpose applications utilized in conduit and tubing underground in conduit, or other recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch-circuit wiring as specified in the USA National Electrical Code (NEC). XHHW CU is permitted for 600-volt applications and can be used in wetlocations at temperatures not to exceed 75˚C or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90˚C. It’s suitable for applications requiring low-leaking circuits and a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less.With the special insulation, the wire requires no lubrication for installation.
