Thhncu-generic thhn6strwhtmr Thhn 6 Awg Stranded Copper Wire

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn6strwhtmr is a 6 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire with white PVC insulation and a nylon jacket, sold cut to length. Rated for 600 volts and up to 90 degrees C in dry environments, this wire carries 75 amps at 90 degrees C, 65 amps at 75 degrees C, and 55 amps at 60 degrees C. The 19-strand copper conductor provides flexibility compared to solid wire, making it easier to pull through conduit runs. Electricians use this wire for branch circuit wiring, feeder runs, and panel work in residential and commercial applications.

This wire is suited for use in conduit or raceways where THHN-rated conductors are required. The white insulation color follows common color-coding conventions for neutral conductors in larger AWG sizes, though local code requirements should always be confirmed before installation. Cut-to-length availability reduces waste on jobs where standard spool quantities exceed the required footage. It is appropriate for dry locations and is commonly installed in both new construction and retrofit electrical projects.

Key Features

• 6 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19-strand configuration for improved flexibility
• Rated 600 volts with a 90 degrees C dry temperature rating
• Ampacity of 75 amps at 90 degrees C per conductor rating
• White PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion resistance during conduit pulls
• Cut-to-length format reduces excess material on smaller jobs
• Outer diameter of 249 mil for conduit fill calculations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply wire for use in any application requiring 6 AWG THHN-rated copper conductors installed in conduit or approved raceways.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before making any connections. Use appropriately rated wire connectors, lugs, or terminals rated for 6 AWG copper conductors. Confirm conduit fill calculations using the 249 mil outer diameter to ensure compliance with NEC conduit fill limits.
