This is what I can read from the side of the cable.
(UL) 2 CDR AWG 2-1 CDR AWG 4 COMPACT ALUMAFLEX TYPE XHHW-2 CDRS 600 VOLTS (TM) AA8176

Do you always check out the doctors you go to?
This is (“2 CDR AWG 2â€) Two cords of #2 American Wire Gauge and (“1 CDR AWG 4â€) One cord #4 American Wire Gauge and these cords are compact alumaflex type xhhw-2 rated at 600 volts. This is the correct size cable. If you are addressing the #4 cord in this cable you have to go to 220.61 to learn how to size the smaller grounded (neutral) conductor.hids2000 said:(UL) 2 CDR AWG 2-1 CDR AWG 4 COMPACT ALUMAFLEX TYPE XHHW-2 CDRS 600 VOLTS (TM) AA8176
Leave the electrician alone and let the inspector be the one to point out any violations as this cable is the correct size for a 100 amp panel.hids2000 said:I will ask them when they come back today if that wire is in fact a #4 if it is they got to change it out.

This is awkward, but...
