Purpose-built for high-leg delta and 480V industrial systems, this 3/0 AWG Priority-Plex twisted assembly is designed to overcome the physical and logistical barriers of high-amperage installations. By factory-synchronizing three phase conductors into a single, cohesive twist, this cable removes the complexity of managing three separate reels and the physical strain of manual wire paralleling, ensuring a more efficient and safer pull for your crew.
Why Choose 3/0-3C Twisted XHHW-2 Aluminum Feeder?
Navigating 3/0 conductors through tight industrial raceways requires a cable that works with the installer, not against them. The Priority-Plex configuration minimizes the “sweep” area required in conduit bends and reduces surface friction, allowing for a much smoother glide than loose conductors. This balanced architecture also ensures that pulling tension is distributed evenly across the bundle, protecting the insulations integrity during high-stress pulls.
-
480V System Identification: Features industry-standard Brown, Orange, and Yellow conductors for immediate circuit recognition and code-compliant termination in high-voltage panels.
-
Streamlined Site Logistics: Consolidating three heavy-gauge leads onto a single reel drastically reduces equipment setup time and the overall job site footprint.
-
Rugged XHHW-2 Shielding: The cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation is optimized for maximum heat dissipation, chemical resistance, and long-term moisture protection in wet or dry locations.
