Generic Wire Cable mtw16strorg500r Mtw Wire 16 Awg 600V Orange 500ft

Product Description

The Generic Wire Cable mtw16strorg500r is a 16 AWG stranded copper MTW (Machine Tool Wire) rated for 600 volts and 8 amps, supplied on a 500-foot spool in orange insulation. The conductor is bare annealed copper with a 26-strand configuration, giving it flexibility suitable for control panel wiring and machine tool applications. PVC insulation provides a temperature rating of 90 degrees C, making it suitable for use in environments with elevated heat. Electricians and panel builders working on industrial machinery and control systems are the primary installers of this wire type.

MTW wire is used in machine tool applications, industrial control panels, and equipment wiring where a flexible, 600-volt-rated conductor is required. The orange jacket color aids in circuit identification inside panels and conduit runs, supporting organized wiring layouts in multi-circuit installations. The 500-foot spool length suits larger wiring jobs or recurring service work where having bulk wire on hand reduces project downtime.

Key Features

• 16 AWG bare annealed copper conductor with 26-strand flexibility
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard machine tool and control panel circuits
• 8-amp current capacity for 16 AWG MTW applications
• PVC insulation rated to 90 degrees C
• Orange jacket for circuit identification in multi-conductor panel builds
• 500-foot spool for bulk wiring projects

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose MTW-type wire for use in machine tool wiring, industrial control panels, and equipment installations requiring a 600-volt-rated, 16 AWG flexible stranded conductor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 310 and any applicable local codes governing machine tool and control panel wiring. De-energize all circuits and lock out the equipment before pulling or terminating wire. MTW wire is intended for use in dry or damp locations inside raceways or as open wiring on insulating supports as permitted by code. Do not exceed the wire's rated voltage, ampacity, or temperature limits in the installed application.
