Detailed Description or Construction
Conductor Features
Annealed copper, solid or stranded • THHN/THWN cables are flame retardant.
sizes 2.0mm² up to 500mm² • The insulation is made of materials that do
Insulation not contain lead as stabilizer making it
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) "environment friendly".
Jacket • The nylon jacket offers mechanical
Tough Polyamide (Nylon) protection and resistance to petroleum by-
products, chemical reagents, and oils. It is
also abrasion-resistant, allows higher gliding
and greater ease in installation.
Standards / Specifications • Available in black, white, red, blue, green,
THHN/THWN conforms to the following standards: and yellow colors. Other colors available
• UL 83 for Thermoplastic Insulated Wires and upon request.
Cables (THHN/THWN)
• UL 758 for Appliance Wiring Materials (AWM)
• UL 1063 for Machine Tool Wire (MTW) (stranded
conductors only)
• PNS 35 Thermoplastic Insulated Copper Wires
and Cables 600 Volts

*Unless otherwise specifically permitted, the overcurrent protection shall both exceed 15A for 2.0mm² (1.6mm); 20A for 3.5mm² (2.0mm) and 25A for 5.5mm² as per PEC.
**Ampacity is for 75°C based on PEC Table 3.10.1.116 not more than three current carrying conductors in conduit based on ambient temperature of 30°C.
***Effective impedance for three conductors in conduit 60Hz, 75°C and 600 Volts at P.F. multiplying current by effective impedance gives a good approximation for line to
neutral voltage drop.
