Insulated wires are manufactured with stranded and solid conductors in 80°,
90°, and 105°C rated temperatures at 300 and 600 volts. This
jacket material is easily colored for coding and is widely used
for electronic equipment, meters, control panels, appliances,
lighting fixtures, HVAC equipment, and many other products.
Most commonly this wire is used as AWM (Appliance Wire Material), MTW (Machine Tool Wire), or TEW (Thermal Equipment Wire). Additionally, all PVC wires will pass the VW-1 flame test. Appliance Wiring Material is both an Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association classification for insulated wire and cable used for the internal wiring of appliance and equipment. Machine Tool Wire is classified by Underwriters Laboratories for use in industrial machines where exposed to oil, coolants, or other liquids. Thermal Equipment Wire is a Canadian Standards Association designation differing from CSA AWM in the approval for both internal and external applications. |
