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

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn2/0strorgmr is a 2/0 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire with orange PVC insulation and a nylon jacket, rated for 600 volts. Designed for use in conduit, this wire carries a 90 degrees C dry temperature rating and supports up to 195 amps at that temperature. The 19-strand configuration provides flexibility during pull-through in conduit runs. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this wire in branch circuit, feeder, and service applications where THHN-rated conductors are required. It is sold cut to length, making it suitable for jobs that require a specific footage rather than a full reel.

This wire is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where THHN conductors are specified. Common applications include feeder runs in panel installations, branch circuit wiring pulled through EMT or rigid conduit, and general building wire work. The orange insulation color supports color-coded conductor identification in multi-wire installations. At 462 pounds per thousand feet, contractors should plan for appropriate reel handling and support when pulling longer runs.

Key Features

• Current capacity: 145 amps at 60 degrees C, 175 amps at 75 degrees C, 195 amps at 90 degrees C
• PVC insulation with nylon jacket meets THHN specification requirements
• Orange insulation for conductor identification in multi-wire systems
• Available cut to length for job-specific footage requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard THHN-rated building wire suitable for installation in conduit systems per NEC requirements for 600-volt branch circuit and feeder applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before beginning work. THHN wire is rated for use in conduit and is not approved for direct burial or wet locations without additional protection. Use appropriate wire-pulling lubricant and conduit fill calculations to ensure the installation remains within code limits.
