Thhncu-generic thhn2/0strgrnmr Thhn 2/0 Awg Copper Wire

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn2/0strgrnmr is a 2/0 AWG stranded copper conductor wire rated for use in a wide range of commercial and residential electrical installations. Built with 19-strand copper construction and insulated with PVC thermoplastic topped by a nylon jacket, this wire carries a 600-volt rating and a 90 degrees C dry temperature rating. Ampacity is 145 amps at 60 degrees C, 175 amps at 75 degrees C, and 195 amps at 90 degrees C. This product is sold cut to length, making it suitable for projects requiring precise footage. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this conductor type.

This wire is appropriate for use in conduit runs, panel feeders, service entrance applications, and branch circuit wiring in both residential and commercial settings. The green insulation color designates it as a grounding conductor per NEC convention, making it a standard choice for equipment grounding conductors (EGC) in electrical distribution systems. It is suitable for dry locations at its full 90 degrees C rating. The 2/0 AWG size is commonly used in sub-panel feeds, motor branch circuits, and larger service runs where higher ampacity is required.

Key Features

• 2/0 AWG, 19-strand copper construction for flexibility in conduit pulls
• 600-volt insulation rating suitable for standard power distribution applications
• 90 degrees C dry temperature rating with PVC thermoplastic insulation and nylon jacket
• Green insulation color designates grounding conductor use per NEC standards
• Ampacity of 195 amps at 90 degrees C for high-load circuit applications
• Sold cut to length to reduce waste on specific footage requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use as a THHN-rated conductor in conduit or raceway systems where a 2/0 AWG green grounding or equipment grounding conductor is required. Compatible with standard conduit fittings and terminations rated for 2/0 AWG wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any terminations. Wire should be pulled through conduit or raceway only — direct burial or wet location use requires a wire type rated for those environments. Verify that termination lugs and connectors are rated for the conductor size and material before torquing connections.
