Building Wire Cable THW 8 AWG Copper Conductor 7 Strands 600V

Building wire cable THW 8 AWG with a copper conductor composed of 7 strands, rated for 600V, is ideal for heavy-duty electrical applications. The 8 AWG size supports higher current loads, making it suitable for main feeders, large appliances, or industrial wiring. The stranded copper conductor enhances flexibility, easing installation around bends and in tight spaces. The THW insulation provides excellent heat resistance, durability, and a level of moisture and chemical resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Always ensure installation complies with local electrical codes and standards for safety and optimal performance.

Cable THW 8 Application

The copper conductors type THW are used for power and lighting circuits in industrial, commercial and residential facilities where it is required of more security, just as it is specified in the National Electrical Code. This type of conductor can be used in dry and wet places; its maximum temperature of operation is of 75 ºC and its voltage of service for all the applications it is 600 V.

Cable THW 8 Standards

• ASTM B-3: Copper Annealed or Soft Wires.
• ASTM B-8: Copper Stranded Conductors in Concentric Layers, Hard, Semi-hard or Soft.
• UL - 83: Wires and Cables Insulated with Thermoplastic Material.
• NEMA WC-5: Wires and Cables Insulated with Thermoplastic Material (ICEA S-61-402) for Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power
