APPLICATIONS
• May be used as service-entrance conductors when installed
  as required by NEC® Article 230
• May be used for branch circuits within a building as specified
  by the NEC® Section 338-3

CONDUCTORS
• Compact stranded AA-8000 Series aluminum alloy

CONDUCTOR INSULATION
• Type XHHW-2 conductors
• Black XLP (cross-linked polyethylene), rated 90°C in wet or
  dry locations
• One of the conductors has a red stripe on the surface of the
  insulation for polarity identification

NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR
• Bare conductor strands are helically wound around the two
  paralleled, insulated conductors

ASSEMBLY
• A glass-reinforced tape is applied over the conductors

JACKET
• A gray, sunlight resistant PVC (polyvinyl chloride) jacket is
  applied over the complete assembly

INDUSTRY STANDARDS
• UL 44 (insulated conductors)
• UL 854 Service Entrance Cables
• Federal Specification A-A-59544
• NFPA70: National Electrical Code®
