When selecting the right wire for your industrial or electrical project, two common types often come up: MTW wire<\/strong><\/a> and THHN wire<\/strong><\/a>. Both are widely used and UL-listed, but they serve different purposes based on insulation, flexibility, temperature rating, and environmental resistance. So, what’s the difference between MTW and THHN wire<\/em>?<\/p>\n
