Answer This Question
A: Please see the marking on the individual conductors for P/N: 551736 below:
SOUTHWIRE AWG 12 (3,307mm2) TYPE TW OIL RESISTANT I 600V VW-1 E23919 (UL)
The NEC doesn't have a specific 'type' for Submersible Pump. Per the applicable UL standards, Submersible Pump Cable can be per UL 83 or UL 44.
This cable is of a type TW/THW per the UL 83 standard.

Q:Is this considered #12 THWN-2 CU?
by|Sep 17, 2019
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: If you are looking for a THWN-2 rating, we recommend using our THHN type products. Note that only sizes 8 gauge and larger carry the THWN-2 rating. Sizes #14 AWG - #10 AWG carry a THWN rating only. Link to spec below: https://www.mysouthwire.com/medias/sys_master/product-specifications/product-specifications/h08/h62/8854083633182.pdf The above advice is based upon the current edition of the National Electric Code (NEC). Free access to the latest version of the NEC is available online at www.nfpa.org/freeaccess. The NEC and local building codes regulate the types of wire and cable that can be used in specific electrical applications, as well as the manner of installation. Check your local building codes before you start any wiring and cable electrical project and be sure to obtain required permits. When your work is complete, always have it inspected for compliance with local codes to ensure that it has been safely installed.

A: This is 12 gauge wire. MOST dryers require a 40 amp breaker 10 gauge or better. You could literally start a fire using this.

A: This wire is rated at 20 amps. A 220-240dryer will be pulling 18-20 amps. So you’re definitely at the max load with 240.

A: Yes it can be used in conduit, but do not use conduit in a well. The wire is water proof and they sell water proof splice connectors for use in a well to connect it to the pump.
