Southwire 411040507 Machine Tool Wire 12 Awg Brown 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411040507 is a 12 AWG machine tool wire designed for use in industrial control panels, machine tools, and automated equipment wiring. The conductor features 65 stranded tinned copper strands for flexibility during installation and service. Insulation is 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 of -22 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Licensed electricians and panel builders specify this wire for its multi-standard compliance and resistance to acids, moisture, and oils commonly present in machine tool settings.

This wire is used in industrial machine tool wiring, control panel builds, and automated equipment installations in manufacturing and production environments. The 500-foot spool length suits full panel builds or large wiring runs without mid-run splices. Its oil-resistant and moisture-resistant PVC jacket makes it appropriate for wet or contaminated areas near machinery. The 12 AWG stranded construction handles typical control circuit ampacity requirements while remaining easy to route through conduit or wire ducts.

Compatibility

Designed for use in machine tool wiring applications, industrial control panels, and automated equipment where UL 1063-rated MTW wire is specified per NFPA 79 and NEC requirements.

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 all circuits and follow lockout/tagout procedures before working in any control panel or machine enclosure. Use appropriate wire strippers sized for 12 AWG to avoid nicking the stranded conductor. Verify local code requirements for conduit fill and ampacity derating when bundling multiple conductors.
