Q:Is this wire insulation rated to be installed outside to the weather without being in conduit?
by|Jan 30, 2022
3 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  This wire can be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 194 degree F (90 degree C) or not to exceed 167 degree F (75 degree C) when exposed to oil or coolant. For assistance with if it needs to be in conduit, please consult with our experts at CableTechSupport@southwire.com and we'd be happy to help!

    A:  No, THHN insulated wire is NOT rated for outside exposure to the weather. For starters, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun will (in as little as a year) DESTROY the outer nylon insulation coating of the wire. "USE-2" or "PV Wire" ARE rated for this use, however, provided you ensure adherence to their ratings of temperature versus de-rated current-carrying capacity, for example.

            Q:Can this be used for 70 amp sub panel
            by|Sep 30, 2020
            2 Answers
            Answer This Question

            A:  This is suitable maybe a bit overkill for a 70 amp sub actual. The required ground wire would be #8.

            by|Dec 26, 2023

              A:  No, this is 6 gauge wire, which is more suitable for 50-55 amps. For 70, you want 4 gauge.
