Thhncu-generic thhn2strblk500r Thhn 2 Awg Copper Wire 500ft

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn2strblk500r is a 2 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire rated for general electrical wiring applications. The conductor is built from 19-strand copper with PVC insulation and a nylon jacket, giving it flexibility and resistance to abrasion, oil, and moisture vapor. Rated at 600 volts and 90 degrees C in dry environments, this wire delivers 130 amps at 90 degrees C, 115 amps at 75 degrees C, and 95 amps at 60 degrees C. Each reel contains 500 feet of black-jacketed wire, making it practical for branch circuit, feeder, and service-entrance wiring work.

This wire is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations. It is appropriate for conduit runs in dry locations including raceways, junction boxes, and panelboard feeders. The 2 AWG size and 500-foot reel format is commonly specified for sub-panel feeds, heavy-appliance circuits, and service-entrance runs where a licensed electrician needs a reliable length of black conductor wire on a single spool.

Key Features

• 2 AWG, 19-strand copper conductor for flexibility in conduit pulls
• PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion and oil resistance
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard building wiring systems
• 90 degrees C dry-rated insulation supports up to 130 amps at maximum temperature rating
• Black insulation color for standard phase identification per NEC conventions
• 500-foot reel reduces splicing needs on long conduit runs

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit or raceways as a THHN-rated building wire in dry locations. Suitable for residential and commercial branch circuit and feeder wiring where 2 AWG copper conductor is specified.

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 the circuit before making any connections. THHN wire in this gauge typically requires conduit support and appropriate fittings rated for the application. Do not exceed the temperature, voltage, or ampacity ratings listed for the installation conditions.
