    FAQ's

    What are the particular applications of 6 AWG THHN?

    In this size, THHN is used for:

    • Feeder and branch circuits
    • As a service entrance wire
    • For subpanels
    • For air conditioning units
    • For ovens
    • For outdoor and underground use (if rated THWN)
    •  For large lighting installations
    How Many Amps is #6 THHN Good For?
    • If it has a 60°C (140°F) insulation rating, it is rated for up to 55 amps.
    • If it has a 75°C (167°F) insulation rating, it is rated for up to 65 amps.
    • If it has a 90°C (194°F) insulation rating, it is rated for up to 75 amps.
    What does THHN stand for?

    THHN stands for "Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated."

    Does THHN Have to Be in Conduit?

    Yes, THHN has to be installed in the conduit at all times as per NEC. The only exception to this rule is when THHN is installed in control panels.

    What is THHN Wire suitable for?

    THHN wire is suitable for electrical conduits, indoor and outdoor use (as long as ranked THWN), building wire across industries, and control circuits.

    Can THHN Be Direct Buried?

    THHN does not have an appropriate rating for direct burial because of its construction, but THHN/THWN-2 with a double rating can.

    Is THHN Rated for Wet Locations?

    THHN is rated for dry locations, while THWN is rated for wet locations.

    Can THHN Be Used in Underground Conduit?

    The wire used for the underground conduit should have a THWN-2 rating for wet locations.

    Can You Run THHN in Walls?

    You can run THHN wire in walls within conduit or raceway, but NM-B wire is generally a more popular option for indoor wiring.

    Can you use THHN wire for automotive?

    Using THHN wire for automotive applications is not recommended.

    Is THHN wire waterproof?

    THHN/THWN is not waterproof. While it is suited for wet environments, it cannot be directly submerged in water.

    How many #6 THHN in 3/4 EMT?

    For #6 THHN wires in 3/4" EMT, you can fit up to 4 wires.

    How many #6 THHN in 3/4 PVC?
