Type THW PVC Insulated Wire

STANDARD:UL

VOLTAGE:600V

CAPACITY:50000 coils/week

TW/THW wires are intended for use as grounding wire and other general purpose power wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Conductors are solid or stranded annealed or hard uncoated copper.

Insulation is a polyvinylchloride (PVC) material applied tightly to the conductor.

Conforms to ASTM B-3 and UL 83 for copper conductors

TW/THW is a solid or stranded, soft annealed copper conductor insulated with Polyvinylchloride (PVC). It is UL rated for 600 volts. #10, 12, and 14 AWG are 19 strands; all others are "highly flexible" stranding constructions.

1.Conductor

Annealed uncoated copper conductor. Class B, soft drawn, bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8. Both tinned copper conductors and extra-flexible conductors are available as options.

2.Insulation

Heat and moisture resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) meeting the requirements of ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC 90) UL 83 for Type THW and wires. The insulation is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at a conductor temperature not exceeding 75° C for normal operation.

3.Assembly

Single conductor cables can be paralleled or multiplexed for more efficient installations. Single conductor cables can also be pre-installed in conduit.
