APPLICATION of 600V 8 AWG THHN/THWN building wire
600V 8 AWG THHN/THWN electric wire building wire conductors are primarily used in conduit for services, feeder, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the National Electrical Code.
When used as 600V 8 AWG THHN, conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C.
When used as 600V 8 AWG THWN, conductor is suitable for use at temperatures not to exceed 90°C, dry locations or 75°C wet locations or not to exceed 75°C when exposed to oil or coolant.
Conductor temperatures not to exceed 105°C in dry locations when rated AWM and used as appliance wiring material. Voltage rating for all applications is 600 volts.
