XHHW Type MC 600V Aluminum Cable

XHHW Type MC aluminum cable is a practical choice for commercial and industrial power distribution where armored cable can simplify installation and reduce the need for separate raceway and conductor pulling. Its combination of aluminum conductors and metal-clad construction makes it well suited for projects where overall cable weight, installation time, routing flexibility, and conductor capacity are important considerations. Custom Cable Corp. offers a broad range of sizes to support feeder, branch circuit, and other building power applications.

Construction

Conductor:

  • Three or four insulated aluminum conductors (phase identified) plus a bare equipment grounding conductor inside an aluminum alloy armor.
  • All conductors are (AA 8000 series electrical grade alloy) with type XHHW insulation (UL Standard 44).
  • Aluminum MC cable is designed mainly for above ground application.

Application:

  • Aluminum MC cable is listed with UL (Standard no. 1479) for "through-penetration" of fire rated floors or walls.
  • Aluminum MC cable meets the requirements of UL 1569, metal clad cables. Rated at 600 Volts, the cable is approved for use in accordance with Article 334 and other applicable portions of the NEC.

Features:

  • Aluminum MC cable gives you the advantage in total installed cost savings. It is quicker and easier to install than conventional pipe and wire. The lightweight aluminum armor means MC cable weighs less than MC cable with a steel armor and is also easier to strip back. This strong yet flexible aluminum armor over the XHHW conductors allows for ease of installation in one step. You can save money in time and labor, since conduit cutting and assembly and the pulling of conductors through conduit is no longer necessary.
  • The conductors provided within the armor are aluminum alloy (AA 8000 series) with Type XHHW insulation. Aluminum MC meets the requirements of Section 310-14 of the 1990 NEC. Type XHHW is rated at 90°C for dry locations and 75°C wet.

Frequently Asked Questions

XHHW Type MC aluminum cable is commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, multi-family properties, schools, warehouses, and other projects where feeder or branch circuit wiring needs both aluminum conductors and metal-clad protection.

The metal armor helps protect the insulated aluminum conductors from physical damage during routing and installation. This can be helpful in building environments where wiring may be exposed to movement, contact, or mechanical stress before it reaches panels, equipment, or junction points.

It can be used for either, depending on conductor size, ampacity, circuit design, and code requirements. Larger sizes are often associated with feeder circuits, while smaller configurations may be used for branch circuit or equipment wiring.

Aluminum conductors require compatible lugs, connectors, and termination practices. Buyers should confirm that the selected cable, terminals, and equipment are rated for aluminum conductors and that the installation follows applicable electrical code and manufacturer requirements.

A jacketed aluminum MC cable may be preferred when the installation requires added protection from moisture, sunlight, corrosion, or environmental exposure. The correct jacket depends on where the cable will be installed and what conditions it may face.
