Thhn Thwn-2 Wire Copper PVC Insulated with Nylon Jacket Cable Mtw

CONSTRUCTION
THHN or THWN-2* or MTW copper conductors are annealed (soft) copper, insulated with a tough heat and moisture resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), over which a nylon (polyamide) or UL-listed equal jacket is applied Available in black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, brown, orange, and gray; Some colors standard, some subject to economic order quantity. Conductor sizes 2 AWG and larger listed and marked sunlight-resistant in black only

APPLICATION of Thhn electric Wire:

THHN or THWN-2* conductors are primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the National Electrical Code 2;

When used as Type THHN, conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C;
When used as Type THWN-2*, conductor is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C or not to exceed 75° C when exposed to oil or coolant;

When used as Type MTW, conductor is suitable for use in wet locations or when exposed to oil or coolant at temperatures not to exceed 60° C or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C (with ampacity limited to that for 75° C conductor temperature per NFPA 79)

Conductor temperatures not to exceed 105° C in dry locations when rated AWM and used as appliance wiring material. Voltage for all applications is 600 volts

STANDARDS & REFERENCE

THHN or THWN-2* or MTW (also AWM) meets or exceeds all applicable ASTM specifications, UL Standard 83, UL Standard 1063 (MTW), Federal Specification A-A-59544, and requirements of the National Electrical Code.
