Southwire 411040505 Machine Tool Wire 12 Awg Green 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411040505 is a 12 AWG machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. The conductor uses 65-strand construction for flexibility during routing through tight enclosures. Insulation is polyvinylchloride (PVC) with an outside diameter of 0.155 inches. The wire is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum operating temperature of -22 degrees F. Green jacket color supports grounding and equipment-grounding circuit identification in panel wiring applications. Electricians and panel builders working on industrial machinery and automation equipment are the primary installers.

This wire is suited for use inside machine tool enclosures, industrial control panels, and automation cabinets where flexibility and resistance to shop-floor contaminants are required. The PVC insulation provides resistance to acid, moisture, and oil — conditions common in manufacturing environments. The 500-foot spool format is practical for panel shops and contractors wiring multiple enclosures or larger systems. It is appropriate for both new machine builds and control panel retrofits in light to heavy industrial settings.

Compatibility

Designed for internal wiring of machine tools and industrial control panels where UL 1063 or NFPA 79 compliant wire is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and NFPA 79 for industrial machinery wiring. De-energize and lock out all power sources before running or terminating conductors in any panel or enclosure. Green wire is conventionally reserved for equipment grounding conductors — confirm circuit assignment before installation to comply with NEC grounding color-code requirements. Use appropriate wire management, strain relief, and terminal ratings matched to 12 AWG conductors.
