Product Description

Product overview

The 1/0 AWG RHH/RHW-2 copper conductor cable with XLPE insulation is a heavy-duty, high-performance single conductor wire designed for demanding power distribution applications. Constructed with annealed stranded copper and insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), this cable provides excellent resistance to heat, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress.

Rated for 600V up to 2000V, and 90°C continuous operation in wet or dry locations, the 1/0 AWG size offers high ampacity (125–150A), making it suitable for main feeders, large motors, backup power systems, and industrial panels. Its sunlight resistance and flame-retardant properties ensure safety and long-lasting durability, even in harsh environments.

This cable complies with UL 44, UL 854, CSA, NEC Article 310, and is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor electrical systems.

Specification

Applications

The 1/0 AWG XLPE RHH/RHW-2 cable is ideal for heavy-duty applications, such as:

Main service entrance feeders in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Power distribution in control panels and switchgear.
Large motors or HVAC systems requiring high ampacity supply cables.
Solar PV systems: as output cables from inverters to panels or main AC/DC junctions.
Backup generators or battery bank interconnections.
Underground conduit or duct bank systems, including wet locations.
It is approved for use in raceways, cable trays, and direct burial (USE-2 rated) installations.

Key Features

High ampacity cable: supports up to 170 amps in suitable conditions.
XLPE insulation offers 90°C rating in both wet and dry environments.
Flame-retardant, passes UL VW-1, FT4, and IEEE 1202 vertical tray flame tests.
Sunlight resistant and moisture resistant, suitable for outdoor and underground use.
Stranded copper conductor ensures flexibility and ease of installation.
UL Listed, RoHS compliant, and CSA certified.
Available in multiple colors for phase identification.
