ASTM UL Thermoplastic Wire Type TW/THW THW-2 Cable

TW/THW wire are a solid or stranded, soft annealed copper conductor insulated with Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).


TW wire stands for a thermoplastic, water-resistant wire.


THW wire is also thermoplastic, water-resistant wire, but is heat resistant, denoted by the H in the name.

    Application

    TW/THW wire is most often used in general purpose wiring circuits, for machine tool wiring and the internal wiring of appliances. Common applications include building wiring, feeder and branch circuits, and internal secondary industrial distribution control panels, wiring for refrigeration equipment, air-conditioning equipment, control wiring of machine tools, automatic washers, etc.
