Frequently Asked Questions

Type USE-2/RHW-2/RHH building wire is used for lighting, power, service entrance, feeder, and general-purpose wiring applications in circuits not exceeding 600 volts. It is commonly used where building wire needs to perform in underground or exposed installation environments.

Yes. This type of building wire is suitable for direct burial applications when installed according to applicable electrical code and project requirements. It is commonly selected for underground service, feeder, and power wiring.

XLP stands for cross-linked polyethylene. It is an insulation material used for durability, moisture resistance, and reliable electrical performance in building wire applications.

USE-2 is commonly associated with underground service entrance applications. RHW-2 is rated for wet or dry locations, and RHH is typically rated for dry locations. A wire marked USE-2/RHW-2/RHH may meet multiple application ratings, depending on installation requirements.

The right wire depends on conductor size, copper or aluminum requirements, voltage rating, insulation type, wet or dry location rating, burial conditions, service entrance needs, and applicable NEC or project specifications.
