CWC LowFriction® UL Type XHHW-2, Aluminum Conductor, 90°C Dry or Wet, Rated 600 V / 1000 V

APPLICATIONS

CWC LowFriction® UL Type XHHW-2 conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications in accordance with the NEC. The conductor is suitable for use in dry or wet locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C. The conductor is rated 600 V / 1000 V. Although this product may be installed without the application of pulling lubricant, a good quality pulling lubricant is recommended.
