I. Basic Definition and Characteristics of THHN Wire
THHN Wire, full name is Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon coated Wire. This wire stands out for its unique thermoplasticity and high heat-resistant properties.THHN wire is usually made of one or more fine copper wires stranded together and covered with a thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon jacket, which has good insulating properties and abrasion resistance.
The main characteristics of THHN wire include:
1. high heat resistance: it can maintain stable electrical performance in higher temperature environments, and can usually withstand temperatures as high as 150°C to 200°C. 2. good electrical performance: it has the ability to withstand temperatures as high as 150°C to 200°C, and can be used in a variety of applications.
2. good electrical properties: excellent electrical conductivity and insulation properties, which can effectively reduce power loss and improve the safety of electrical systems.
3. Strong abrasion resistance: The outer nylon sheath has good abrasion resistance and protects the internal copper wires from external physical damage.
4. Good flexibility: THHN wire has good flexibility, which is easy for installation and wiring.
