Southwire XHHW2STRGRNMR XHHW-2 Stranded Copper 2 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE XHHW2STRGRNMR is a 2 AWG stranded copper conductor rated XHHW-2, supplied on a master reel for high-volume installations. XHHW-2 insulation is rated for use in wet or dry locations and carries a 90 degrees F wet rating and 90 degrees F dry rating, making it suitable for conduit runs in demanding environments. The green jacket designates this wire as an equipment grounding conductor, meeting NEC color-code requirements for grounding applications. Electricians and electrical contractors working on commercial and industrial projects rely on master-reel quantities to reduce mid-run splices and control material costs on large jobs.

This wire is used in commercial, industrial, and residential service-entrance and branch-circuit wiring where a dedicated grounding conductor is required. It is pulled through conduit systems — EMT, rigid metal, or PVC — in panel boards, switchgear, motor control centers, and feeder runs. The stranded construction makes it easier to pull through conduit bends and to terminate at lugs and bus bars compared to solid conductors of the same gauge. Master-reel format is standard for electrical contractors managing large-scale projects or stocking distribution facilities.

Key Features

• 2 AWG stranded copper construction for flexibility during conduit pulls and termination
• XHHW-2 insulation rated for wet and dry locations at 90 degrees F
• Green jacket identifies this conductor as an equipment grounding conductor per NEC requirements
• Master-reel quantity reduces splices and supports high-volume commercial or industrial projects
• Suitable for use in EMT, rigid metal conduit, and PVC conduit systems

Compatibility

Designed as a grounding conductor for use in conduit-based wiring systems in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations where XHHW-2 rated wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before terminating or connecting this conductor. Use appropriately rated lugs, compression connectors, or terminal bars sized for 2 AWG stranded copper. Verify conduit fill calculations comply with NEC Chapter 9 tables before pulling wire.
