Ideal for cable tray installation, wire ways, open
wiring, conduits, service entrance, feeders, and
branch circuits for permanent installations.
Suitable for power and lighting installations in
residential, commercial, and industrial
establishments.
Temperature rating not to exceed:
• THHN/THWN: 90°C dry and damp, 600V
• THHN/THWN: 75°C wet or in oil, 600V
• THWN-2: 90°C dry, wet or in oil, 600V
Features
• CT-rated lead-free THHN/THWN cables are
insulated with special PVC formulation that
makes it more flame retardant than ordinary
THHN cables.
• More tolerant to heat with its better flame retardant PVC.
• The insulation is made of materials that do
not contain lead as stabilizer making it
"environment friendly".
• The nylon jacket offers mechanical
protection and resistance to petroleum byproducts, chemical reagents, and oils. It is
also abrasion-resistant, allows higher gliding
and greater ease in installation.
• Available in black, white, red, blue, green,
and yellow colors. Other colors available
upon request.

*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 based on 90°C not more than three current carrying conductors in conduit based on ambient temperature of 30°C as per PEC 2000.
***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.
