PRODUCT TYPES

Thermoplastic-insulated wire is rated 600 V and is designated as follows:

TW — Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 60°C wet or dry.

THHN — Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation with a jacket of extruded nylon or equivalent material. The wire is rated 90°C dry only.

THW — Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 75°C wet or dry.

THW-2 — Same as THW except that the wire is rated 90°C wet or dry.

THHW — Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 90°C dry and 75°C wet.

THWN — Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation with a jacket of extruded nylon or equivalent material. The wire is rated 75°C wet or dry.

THWN-2 — Same as THWN except that the wire is rated 90°C wet or dry.

FEP — Indicates a single copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation. Type FEP wire is suitable for use at 90°C and lower temperatures in dry locations. It is also suitable for use in dry locations at 200°C and lower temperatures for special applications.

FEPB — Indicates a single copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation with a glass braid. Type FEPB wire is suitable for general use at 90°C and lower temperatures in dry locations. It is also suitable for use in dry locations at 200°C and lower temperatures for special applications.

PFA — Indicates a single copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (perfluoroalkoxy) insulation. Type PFA wire is suitable for use at 90°C and lower temperatures in dry locations. It is also suitable for use in dry locations at 200°C and lower for special applications.

PFAH — Indicates a single, nickel or nickel-coated copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (perfluoroalkoxy) insulation. The PFAH is suitable for use at 250°C and lower temperatures only for leads within apparatus or within raceways connected to apparatus, in dry locations only.

TFE — Indicates a single, nickel-coated copper or nickel base alloy conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (polytetrafluoroethylene) insulation. Type TFE wire is suitable for use at 250°C and lower temperatures in dry locations as leads within apparatus or within raceways connected to apparatus or as open wiring.

Z — Indicates a single copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) insulation. Type Z wire is suitable for use at 90°C and lower temperatures in dry locations. It is also suitable for use in dry locations at 150°C and lower temperatures for special applications.

ZW — Indicates a single copper conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) insulation. Type ZW wire is suitable for use in dry locations at 90°C or wet locations at 75°C. It is also suitable for use in dry locations at 150°C and lower temperatures for special applications.

ZW-2 — Same as ZW except that the wire is rated 90°C wet or dry.

TBS — Indicates a single conductor switchboard wire having thermoplastic insulation and a flame-retardant nonmetallic covering. Type TBS is suitable for use at 90°C and lower temperatures in dry locations.

PRODUCT MARKINGS

Types TW, THW, THW-2, THHN, THHW, THWN, THWN-2, PFA, PFAH and Z in sizes 4 to 1 AWG for grounding conductors only and in sizes 1/0 AWG and larger for circuit and grounding conductors that are marked "Cable Tray Use" or "CT" comply with a vertical-tray cable flame test. Wire so marked may additionally be marked "Sunlight Resistant" indicating compliance with an artificial weathering test.

All types in all sizes that are marked "Sunlight Resistant" comply with an artificial weathering test.

Wire suitable for exposure to mineral oil is marked "Oil Resistant I" for 60°C oil resistance, or "Oil Resistant II" for 75°C oil resistance, on the surface of the wire. An Oil Resistant marking, by itself, does not include resistance to gasoline or similar light petroleum solvents.

Wire suitable for exposure to mineral oil and to liquid gasoline and gasoline vapors at ordinary ambient temperature is marked "Gasoline and Oil Resistant I" if suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 60°C, or "Gasoline and Oil Resistant II" if the compound is suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 75°C. Gasoline-resistant wire has been tested at 23°C when immersed in gasoline. It is considered inherently resistant to gasoline vapors within the limits of the temperature rating.

Wire that complies with a special vertical flame test is surface marked "VW-1."

Constructions in this category that comply with a flame and smoke test (as described in UL 1685, "Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables") may have the additional marking "ST1" indicating "Limited Smoke." (Note: The suffix "-LS," added to the Type letters, has also been used to indicate Limited Smoke. Effective November 15, 2004, only "ST1" may be used.)

In place of three of the markings described above, the following multinational markings may be used:

"SR" in place of "Sunlight Resistant"
"PR" in place of "Oil Resistant"
"GR" in place of "Gasoline and Oil Resistant"

Submersible Pump Cable — Indicates multiconductor cable consisting of two or three flat or two to six twisted insulated conductors with or without an overall jacket. The cable is labeled in size 14 AWG to 500 kcmil copper, and 12 AWG to 500 kcmil aluminum or copper-clad aluminum. The cable is tag marked "For Wiring Only Between Equipment Located at Water Well Heads and Motors of Installed Deep-Well Submersible Water Pumps." The insulation is surface marked "Submersible Pump Cable." The cable has not been investigated for direct burial in the earth.

Wire, in sizes mentioned below, may employ copper or aluminum, or copper-clad aluminum conductors. Wire with copper-clad aluminum conductors is surface printed "AL (CU-CLAD)" or "Cu-Clad Al." Wire with aluminum conductors is surface printed "AL."

Wire and cable employing compact-stranded copper conductors is so identified directly following the conductor size, wherever it appears (surface, tag, carton or reel), by "compact copper." The abbreviations "CMPCT" and "CU" may be used for compact and copper, respectively.

Tags, reels and cartons for product employing compact-stranded copper conductors have the marking: "Terminate with connectors identified for use with compact-stranded copper conductors."
