High-Quality Thhn Thwn Copper Electrical Wire for Building

Product Description

Building Wire -Copper -THWN or THHN

(PVC Insulation, Nylon Jacket, 600 Volts)

DESCRIPTION

THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-Resistant Nylon-Coated) and THWN (Thermoplastic Heat- and Water-Resistant Nylon-Coated) wires are 600V-rated copper conductors with PVC insulation and nylon sheath, widely used in conduits, raceways, and control circuits.

THHN is intended for dry locations up to 90°C, while THWN is also suitable for wet environments up to 75°C. These wires are among the most commonly used in U.S. residential and commercial building projects.

APPLICATION
General purpose wiring in accordance with the National Electrical Code, maximum conductor temperature of 90°C in dry locations and 75°C in wet locations, 600 volts, for installation in conduit or other recognized raceway. Also used for wiring of machine tools (stranded), appliances, and control circuits not exceeding 600 volts.

These conductors have multiple ratings. Depending upon the product application, allowable temperatures are as follows:

• THHN or T90 Nylon- Dry locations not to exceed 90ºC

• THWN-2- Wet or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75ºC when exposed to oil

• THWN- Wet locations not to exceed 75ºC or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75ºC when exposed to oil

• TWN75- Wet locations not to exceed 75ºC

• MTW- Wet locations or when exposed to oil at temperatures not to exceed 60° C or dry locations not to exceed 90ºC (with ampacity limited to that for 75ºC conductor temperature per NFPA 79)

• AWM- Dry locations not to exceed 105ºC only when rated and used as appliance wiring material

 

 

CONSTRUCTION
CU THHN/THWN(-2) conductors are made with soft drawn copper. Sizes 14 through 4/0 AWG use a combination-unilay stranding while 250 kcmil and larger sizes use a compressed copper stranding. The wire is covered with a tough heat and moisture resistant PVC insulation with an overall nylon jacket. Available in black, white, red, blue, purple, green, yellow, orange, brown, and gray. Some colors are subject to economic order quantity.


SPECIFICATION
ASTM B3: Annealed or soft copper wires.
ASTM B8: Concentric Layered Copper Stranded Conductors.
ASTM B787: 19 Wire Combination Unilay-Stranded Copper Conductors for Subsequent Insulation.
UL 83: Wires and cables insulated with thermoplastic material.
