AL RHH RHW XLP USE 4/0 aluminum conductors are insulated cables that consist of compact stranded Alumaflex® Aluminum alloy. Alumaflex® aluminum alloy provides excellent conductivity while adding strength and resistance to corrosion for a long-lasting product. The Alumaflex® conductors are compact stranded, which reduces the diameter of the conductors, making the cable more maneuverable. This cable is able to function in temperatures up to 90°C. Aluminum alloy conductors are jacketed in a black crosslinked polyethylene coat. The exterior jacket protects the conductors from excessive heat and moisture, abrasion, and corrosion due to sunlight.

AL RHH RHW XLP USE 4/0 cable is a service entrance cable that can carry up to 600 volts. Service entrance cables distribute power from the service drop to an individual residence or building. AL RHH RHW XLP USE 4/0 cable is designed for underground use within an electrical raceway, typically conduit. Conduit is a tube or trough that contains the electrical conductors, protecting them from corrosion, sunlight, and other interferences. Conduit comes in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes. The best type of conduit will vary depending on the task at hand and the weather and climate conditions of the region where it is to be installed.

Applications: Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 conductors are used with conduit as specified in the National Electrical Code 1. May also be used as underground service entrance cable, for direct burial, at conductor temperatures not to exceed 90°C. When used as RHH, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90°C in dry locations. When used as RHW-2 or USE-2, conductor temperatures shall not exceed 90°C in wet or dry locations. Voltage rating for RHW-2 or RHH or USE-2 conductors is 600 volts.

Specifications: Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 conductors meet or exceed UL Standard 44 (for RHH or RHW-2), UL Standard 854 (for USE-2), Federal Specification A-A-59544, and requirements of the National Electrical Code.

Construction: Type RHH or RHW-2 or USE-2 aluminum conductors are AlumaFlex TM AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, compact stranded. Insulation is an abrasion, moisture, heat, and sunlight resistant black cross-linked polyethylene (XLP).
