Lead Free TypeTHHN/THWN-2 600 Volts for 90oC Dry & Wet Locations

APPLICATIONS
Type THHN/THWN-2 conductors
are primarily used in conduit for
services, feeder, and branch
circuits in commercial or industrial
applications as specified in the
Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) &
National Electrical Code (NEC).
When used as type THHN/THWN2, conductors are suitable for use
in wet or dry locations at
o
temperatures not to exceed 90 C
both dry and wet locations or not to
o
exceed 75 C exposed to oil or
coolant.
2

For 50mm 500mm , Cable tray

(CT) rated THHN/THWN-2 can be
installed in Cable Trays.

DESCRIPTION
Type THHN/THWN-2 is single
insulated conductor of solid or
stranded bare annealed high
conductivity
copper,
with
thermoplastic Lead free insulation
of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and
protected by a nylon jacket;
designed to operate up to 600 volts
AC.

INSTALLATION
THHN/THWN-2 conductors can be installed
2
as follows: in conduit & raceways for 2.0mm
2
up to 500mm , or in cable trays for sizes
2
50mm up to 500mm2. It is important that the
installation instructions indicated by the
Philippine Electric Code, or National Electrical
Code, be followed to safeguard the safety of
people installing the product and eliminate
damage to the product due to improper
installation.
