APPLICATIONS

  • Pro-Line Type 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.
  • 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 AND REFERENCES

Pro-Line Type 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.

CONSTRUCTION

  • Pro-Line Type 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.
