UL44 Listed 500kcmil Electrical Grade AA8000 Aluminum XHHW-2 Underground Feeder Wire
500 kcmil AA8000 Aluminum XHHW / XHHW-2 wire is UL44 standard thermoset building power cable, adopting premium electrical grade AA8000 compact stranded aluminum alloy conductor and high-performance cross linked polyethylene XLPE insulation. Rated 600V/1000V, it supports continuous 90°C working temperature for both wet and dry locations. Designed for heavy-current main feeder, service entrance and underground conduit wiring, this electrical grade aluminum cable features anti-creep, anti-corrosion and strong moisture resistance, fully compliant with North American NEC, ASTM and NEMA codes for large commercial, industrial and renewable energy power projects.
XHHW wire
XHHW / XHHW-2 wire is primarily used for installation in conduits, cable trays, or other approved raceway systems, and is suitable for power service entrances, feeders, and branch circuit wiring, meeting the installation requirements of relevant electrical codes.

APPLICATIONS
XHHW wire is primarily used for service entrance, feeder, and branch circuit wiring in building electrical systems, and is widely used in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and large residential projects.
Underground Conduit Installation
XHHW/XHHW-2 wire is widely used in underground conduit runs, delivering dependable power for service entrances, site feeders and outdoor distribution systems. Its moisture-resistant XLPE insulation withstands soil humidity and pulling abrasion, suitable for buried wet-location raceways per NEC standards.
Cable Tray & Raceway Systems
For cable tray and raceway installations, XHHW/XHHW-2 wire offers exceptional performance with its durable XLPE insulation that resists mechanical stress and environmental exposure. The wire's versatility allows for neat, organized routing in open tray systems, making it a preferred choice for industrial and commercial power distribution projects.
Conduit Wiring
XHHW/XHHW-2 wire is ideally suited for conduit wiring applications, pulling smoothly through EMT, rigid metal, and PVC conduits. Its abrasion-resistant insulation and stranded conductor options ensure reliable performance and long service life in both new construction and retrofit installations.
Feeder Circuit Wiring
For feeder circuits, XHHW/XHHW-2 wire delivers dependable power transmission from service equipment to distribution panels and sub-panels. Its high temperature rating and moisture resistance make it an excellent choice for handling substantial continuous loads in commercial buildings and industrial facilities.

What are people saying about us
Our customers have consistently shared positive feedback about our cables and services. Here’s what they say about US:
Luis Fernando Pérez - Venezuela - Office Building Project
The wires are of very good quality. The cables need to pass through long pipes and corners, and the cables are very flexible. We also ordered fire-resistant wires, which have been tested by a testing agency and found to be without problems.
Thomas Baker - USA - Factory construction
GERITEL WIRE's engineering team was very professional. They offered suggestions based on our cable requirements, and we found more suitable cable models. Subsequent operation has been stable without any problems.
Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican - Hotel Project
Due to the tight schedule of the hotel project, we had to adjust the usage quantity several times. GERITEL WIRE supplier was very flexible in terms of delivery and packaging, with fast delivery times. The wire reels were clearly labeled, making on-site counting and distribution very convenient.
