250 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V
Allowable Ampacity for 250 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 75°C: 205 Amps
Allowable Ampacity for 250 MCM XHHW-2 Aluminum Cable 600V at 90°C: 230 Amps
Applications:
These electrical wires, also known as XHHW-2 cables, are primarily used for power distribution, in both wet and dry places, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 90°C. Voltage rating for this electrical wire, XHHW-2 cable, is 600V.
Due to high 250 mcm aluminum wire ampacity, here are the applications:
- Service entrance
- Feeder circuits
- Industrial equipment
- Conduit systems
- Busbars and power distribution
- Renewable energy installations
- Backup generators

Standards:
- XHHW-2 meet or exceed the following standards:
- UL standard 44
- Requirements of the National Electrical Code
- ASTM standards B 800, B 801
- Federal Specification J–C-30B
- Sunlight resistant
Construction
Conductors:
XHHW-2 conductor is a soft drawn bare 8000 series aluminum, with Class B stranding per ASTM. Stranded conductors reduce power loss and are also easier to use in applications where flexibility is vital.
Insulation:
XHHW-2 has abrasion, heat, and moisture resistant cross-linked polyethylene insulation. Cross linking a polyethylene helps to achieve an excellent strength that makes the material suitable for covering this cable used in harsh conditions.
