6-19 SD CU SIMpull (TM) THHN-THWN-2 MTW-AWM PURPLE 500 FT
Application & Features
Southwire SIMpull® THHN/THWN-2 copper 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® and other applicable codes and standards. Voltage for all applications is 600 volts. SIMpull® THHN/THWN-2 copper conductors are designed to be installed without the application of a pulling lubricant. These conductors have multiple ratings depending upon the product application. Allowable temperatures are as follows:
- THHN or T90 Nylon- Dry locations not to exceed 90°C
- THWN-2- Wet or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75°C when exposed to oil
- TWN75- Wet locations not to exceed 75°C
- MTW- Wet locations or when exposed to oil at temperatures not to exceed 60°C or dry locations not to exceed 90°C (with ampacity limited to that for 75°C conductor temperature per NFPA 79)
- AWM- Dry locations not to exceed 105°C only when rated and used as appliance wiring material
