Product Description

Product overview

4/0 AWG Aluminum RHH/RHW-2/USE-2 600V 90°C cable is a single conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated wire designed for low-voltage power distribution. With a rated voltage of 600 volts and a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C in both wet and dry environments, this cable is suitable for a wide range of electrical applications. The aluminum conductor provides a cost-effective and lightweight alternative to copper, while the XLPE insulation ensures excellent thermal, mechanical, and moisture resistance.

This cable meets the stringent requirements of UL Standards and is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and utility installations, particularly where direct burial or exposure to harsh outdoor conditions is required. Its RHH, RHW-2, and USE-2 ratings indicate its flexibility and suitability for multiple applications, including residential service entrances, feeders, and branch circuits.

Specification

Applications

USE-2: Primarily used for underground service entrance (USE) applications, including direct burial in the ground. Suitable for wet or dry locations with conductor temperatures not exceeding 90°C. Common in residential, agricultural, and utility installations.
RHW-2: Suitable for use in conduit or other recognized raceways in wet or dry locations. Common in industrial and utility power distribution.
RHH: Used in dry locations only, typically in conduit or raceway. Suitable for switchgear, control panels, and indoor feeders.

Key Features

Conductor: Stranded aluminum alloy conductor (AA-8000 series) for improved flexibility and corrosion resistance.
Insulation: Heat- and moisture-resistant cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) provides excellent dielectric strength and thermal stability.
Voltage Rating: 600 volts.
Temperature Rating: 90°C in wet or dry conditions.
Flame Resistance: RHH/RHW-2 complies with flame test requirements (UL 44).
Sunlight Resistant: Suitable for outdoor use with UV exposure.
Direct Burial Rated: Approved for direct burial applications (USE-2).
Cost-Efficient: Aluminum conductor provides a lighter and more economical alternative to copper.

FAQ

Q1: What does the RHH/RHW-2/USE-2 designation mean?
A: It indicates the cable is approved for multiple uses: RHH (dry locations), RHW-2 (wet/dry locations with 90°C rating), and USE-2 (underground service entrance, direct burial).

Q2: Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
A: Yes, the USE-2 rating confirms it is suitable for direct burial without conduit.

Q3: Can this cable be used indoors?
A: Yes, under the RHH or RHW-2 designations, it can be installed in raceways or conduit indoors.

Q4: What is the conductor material used?
A: The conductor is made from compact stranded aluminum alloy (AA-8000 series), compliant with NEC standards.

Q5: Is it flame-retardant?
A: Yes, the cable meets UL flame test requirements per UL 44 (for RHH and RHW-2).

Q6: Can this cable be exposed to sunlight?
A: Yes, it is sunlight-resistant and suitable for outdoor installations.

Q7: What standards does this cable meet?
A: UL 44 for RHH/RHW-2, UL 854 for USE-2, and NEC Article 310 and 338.

Q8: Is this cable suitable for use in cable trays?
A: No, it is not rated for cable tray use.
