Key Features:
-
Multiple Conductor Types:
- THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-Resistant Nylon-Coated): Suitable for dry environments, with temperatures up to 90°C.
- THWN (Thermoplastic Heat- and Water-Resistant Nylon-Coated): Suitable for dry locations at temperatures up to 90°C, and wet locations up to 75°C, or when exposed to oil or coolants.
- THWN-2: For both wet and dry environments, supporting temperatures up to 90°C, or up to 75°C when exposed to oil or coolants.
-
Durability and Flexibility:
- The conductor is made of high-quality copper, providing excellent electrical conductivity.
- The PVC insulation adds resistance against environmental factors, while the nylon jacket ensures additional protection, especially against abrasion and corrosion.
-
Wide Range of Applications:
Primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial settings, per NEC guidelines.
-
Versatile Performance:
- Rated 600V, this wire supports both residential and industrial-grade installations.
- It can be installed in dry locations (up to 90°C) and wet environments (up to 75°C), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
-
Oil and Coolant Resistant:
- When exposed to oil or coolant, THWN/THWN-2 maintains a reliable operational temperature of up to 75°C, making it ideal for heavy-duty machinery or environments where oil exposure is common.
Technical Specifications:
- Conductor: Solid or stranded copper conductor, meeting ASTM standards.
- Insulation: Heat-resistant PVC insulation.
- Jacket: Nylon outer jacket, providing additional durability and abrasion resistance.
- Temperature Rating:
