4 THHN THWN-2 Stranded Copper Building Wire

4 AWG THHN THWN-2 Stranded Copper Building Wire

Allowable Ampacity:

• 70 Amps for General Applications (60°C)

• 85 Amps in Wet Locations (75°C)

• 95 Amps in Dry Locations (90°C)

Description

4 AWG THHN/THWN-2 stranded copper wire is a durable and versatile solution for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical wiring. Rated for THHN (thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon, dry) and THWN-2 (wet) environments, it supports up to 600 volts and operates at temperatures up to 90°C. Its flame-retardant PVC jacket resists sunlight, moisture, and chemicals, making it ideal for feeders, subpanels, and large equipment wiring.

Applications for 4 AWG THHN Wire

4 AWG THHN wire, with a capacity of up to 95 amps, is suitable for:

• Residential Feeders: Distributing power to outbuildings or different sections of larger homes.

• Commercial Subpanels: Powering medium-sized commercial buildings or complexes.

• Large Equipment Wiring: Supporting HVAC systems and sizable machinery in light industrial or commercial setups.

• Motor Connections: Reliable for connecting motors in commercial and industrial environments.

• Service Entrance: Configured for service entrances when appropriately protected.

• Conduit Systems: Easily pulled through conduit in structured wiring installations.

• Branch Circuits: Distributing power to appliances, outlets, and lighting fixtures.
