10 XHHW-2 Solid Copper Building Wire

[short]

10 XHHW-2 Solid Copper Building Wire

Allowable Ampacity for 10 XHHW-2 Copper Building Wire:30 Amps at 60C / 30 Amps at 75C / 30 Amps at 90C

Applications:

XHHW is a multi-purpose electrical wire with cross-linked high heat water-resistant insulation. The most common applications include raceways for branch circuit wiring, conduits, services, and feeders. It is also used as a building wire. XHHW 2 is suitable for industrial applications due to its toughness and excellent resistance to chemicals. Theelectrical wire is suitable for temperatures up to 90C in dry applications and 75 C in wet applications, with a voltage rating of 600 volts.
