I need a short run (3 feet) of 2/0 copper from a power distribution block (inside a wireway) to a load panel but I need to make a sharp 90 degree bend from the wireway to FMC conduit. The only way this will work is to use more flexible wire than standard THHN/THHW.

Can this wire be used? https://store.polarwire.com/2-0-awg...wire-thhw-tew-mtw-awm-bc-5w2-sae-type-sgt-ct/

It's listed as THHW so my guess is yes, but I'm not sure.

Even if this allowed, how do you properly connect this wire to standard lugs? Are ferrules approved for this purpose?
