Thermoplastic-insulated wire is rated 600 V and is designated as follows:
TW Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 60C wet or dry.
THHN Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation with a jacket of extruded nylon or equivalent material. The wire is rated 90C dry only.
THW Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 75C wet or dry.
THW-2 Same as THW except that the wire is rated 90C wet or dry.
THHW Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation. The wire is rated 90C dry and 75C wet.
THWN Indicates a single conductor having flame-retardant, moisture- and heat-resistant thermoplastic insulation with a jacket of extruded nylon or equivalent material. The wire is rated 75C wet or dry. THWN wire suitable for exposure to mineral oil and to liquid gasoline and gasoline vapors at ordinary ambient temperature is marked "Gasoline and Oil Resistant I
" if suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 60C, or "Gasoline and Oil Resistant II
" if the compound is suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 75C. Gasoline resistant wire has been tested at 23C when immersed in gasoline. It is considered inherently resistant to gasoline vapors within the limits of the temperature rating.
THWN-2 Same as THWN except that the wire is rated 90C wet or dry.
